5 Key Benefits of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Upgrading your heating system doesn’t have to mean high upfront costs. With the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), eligible homeowners and landlords in England and Wales can now receive £7,500 off the installation of an air source heat pump – making it much easier to switch to low-carbon heating.
Here are five key reasons to consider applying.
1. £7,500 Toward Installation Costs
The BUS grant covers a large part of the cost of installing a heat pump, reducing the financial barrier for households looking to move away from fossil fuel systems. The grant is paid directly to the installer, simplifying the process for homeowners.
2. Reliable, Energy-Efficient Performance
Heat pumps offer steady and consistent indoor comfort. Unlike traditional boilers that cycle on and off, heat pumps work gradually, maintaining a stable temperature throughout the day. Their design makes them highly efficient across a range of property types, even in homes that haven’t had major insulation upgrades.
3. Cut Your Carbon Footprint
Heat pumps can cut home heating emissions by up to 75%, depending on your current system and electricity source. It’s one of the most effective ways to reduce domestic carbon output.
4. Improve EPC Ratings
Installing a renewable heating system can help boost your home’s EPC rating – something potential home buyers are increasingly aware of. Better ratings can also unlock access to future home energy grants.
5. Prepare for Energy Market Changes
With fossil fuel prices fluctuating, switching to electric heating gives you more stability. The UK’s electricity supply is increasingly powered by renewables, which is good news for the planet.
