Grants & Incentives: Your Heating Upgrade Made Affordable

At The Fuel Effect, we believe everyone should have access to smarter, cleaner home-heating. That’s why we help you navigate the available Boiler Scheme options and claim the best Boiler Grants, whether you’re switching to a heat pump or replacing your traditional boiler.

Why Consider the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?

The government’s flagship Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is designed to help homeowners in England and Wales move away from inefficient fossil-fuel heating systems and make the switch to low-carbon alternatives.

Key benefits at a glance:

• Grants up to £7,500 towards an air-source heat pump or ground-source heat pump.
• Up to £5,000 for a biomass boiler (in eligible cases).
• Helps reduce energy bills and carbon emissions by replacing inefficient fossil-fuel boilers.
• Which Solutions Are Covered?
• Grants for Heat Pumps

If you’re considering upgrading your heating system, the grant for heat pumps can make a major difference. Here’s what you need to know:

• Air-source heat pumps and ground-source (or water-source) heat pumps are eligible under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
• The grant amount is deducted by your installer, so you pay the reduced cost directly.
• Your property must be in England or Wales and meet certain eligibility criteria (EPC-certificate, replacing fossil-fuel system, etc.).
• New Boiler Grants & Boiler Grants
• While the BUS focuses on heat pumps and low-carbon heating systems, many homeowners are still looking for support with traditional boilers.

Some New Boiler Grants may be available (especially via energy supplier schemes or benefit-based support).

It’s worth asking us about your eligibility for these Boiler Grants — we’ll check for you and guide you through the process.
