At Green Energy Homes, we’re helping homeowners across England and Wales make the switch to low-carbon heating. If you’re ready to ditch your old fossil fuel boiler for a cleaner, more efficient system, there’s never been a better time. Thanks to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), you could get a £7500 government grant to cover part of the cost of installing an air source heat pump. And we take care of the application for you.
What Is an Air Source Heat Pump?
An air source heat pump is a smart, energy efficient alternative to a traditional gas or oil boiler. It works by drawing in heat from the outside air, even when it’s cold, and using it to heat your home and your water. It’s clean, renewable and future-proof. Once installed, it can significantly lower your carbon footprint and, in many cases, your energy bills too.
Air source heat pumps are part of a new wave of green technology that is key to the UK’s goal of reaching net zero. They’re quiet, reliable and perfect for homes looking to break free from the rising costs of fossil fuels.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS): What You Need to Know
Launched in April 2022, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a government initiative designed to encourage the move to low-carbon heating systems. It provides upfront grants to property owners to help with the cost of installing heat pumps or biomass boilers. It’s open to homes and small non-domestic buildings across England and Wales.
Here’s the good news. If you choose to install an air source heat pump with Green Energy Homes, we can apply for the £7500 grant on your behalf. That money is deducted from your bill at the start of the job, so you never have to worry about claiming it yourself or waiting for a refund. We handle it all from day one.
What You Could Save
Here’s a quick look at what’s available under the BUS:
- £7500 off an air source heat pump
- £7500 off a ground or water source heat pump
- £5000 off a biomass boiler
That’s serious support for anyone ready to upgrade to a cleaner heating solution. With £450 million of government funding available between 2022 and 2025, the opportunity is here now. But the funding is limited and demand is growing. Only around 90,000 grants are expected to be paid out, and they’re being released in stages. That means availability may fluctuate as quarterly caps are hit.
Eligibility: Do You Qualify?
Most homeowners in England and Wales will. Here’s what you need to know:
- Your property must be in England or Wales
- The scheme is open to homeowners, small private landlords and self-builders
- Your system must replace a fossil fuel boiler (gas, oil, LPG or direct electric)
- Heat pumps must meet the minimum efficiency standards
- Biomass boilers are only eligible in rural locations and in homes not connected to the gas grid
We check all of this for you when we assess your home. If you’re unsure whether your property qualifies, our team will walk you through it.
We Make the Process Easy
When you contact Green Energy Homes, we take care of everything. We’ll survey your home, check eligibility for the BUS grant and provide a detailed quote with the £7500 already factored in. If you decide to go ahead, we manage the full grant application on your behalf. No forms to fill. No chasing paperwork. No delays.
We’ll also design, install and commission your air source heat pump system. Every step of the project is handled in-house by our expert team, so you know who you’re dealing with from start to finish.
Why Switch to an Air Source Heat Pump Now?
Installing an air source heat pump now gives you the chance to:
- Cut your reliance on fossil fuels
- Lower your household carbon emissions
- Potentially reduce your heating bills
- Future-proof your home before gas boilers are phased out
- Take advantage of the £7500 government grant while it’s available
The BUS scheme is due to run until April 2025, but the funding pot is not unlimited. Interest is rising quickly as more people look to go green. That means if you delay, you could risk missing out. And once the scheme ends or the funding runs dry, this level of support might not be available again.
