Boiler Upgrade Scheme
What is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a government initiative aimed at improving the energy efficiency of homes across the UK. It provides a grant to homeowners who have old, inefficient boilers and want to upgrade to a more efficient heating system.
How does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme work?
Homeowners who are approved for the scheme receive a grant, of up to £7,500 which varies depending on the type of solution being installed, the age of the existing boiler, and the size of the home. The grant covers part of the cost of upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient heating system, such as a heat pump. Homeowners choose a qualified installer to carry out the work, and the grant is put towards the cost of installation.
What are the benefits of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
There are several benefits to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, including:
– Lower energy bills: By upgrading to a more energy-efficient heat pump, homeowners can save money on their energy bills. This is because newer heat pumps are designed to be more efficient, meaning they use less energy to heat the home.
– Reduced carbon footprint: Old, inefficient boilers are a major source of carbon emissions. By upgrading to a newer, more efficient heat pump, homeowners can reduce their carbon footprint and help to combat climate change.
– Improved home comfort: Newer heat pumps are designed to be more efficient and reliable than older boilers. This means homeowners can enjoy a more comfortable home, with fewer breakdowns and repairs needed.
– Improved home value: A more energy-efficient home is likely to be more valuable on the property market. This means homeowners could see an increase in the value of their property as a result of upgrading their boiler.

A bit more about Heat Pumps…
Energy Efficiency
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Heat pumps produce more energy than they actually use. Compared to a modern boiler’s efficiency rate of 90%; a heat pump offers an exceptional energy efficiency rate between 300%-400%.
Carbon Emissions
CARBON EMISSIONS
Heat pumps can dramatically reduce your homes carbon footprint, providing around 75% of renewable heat. However, when heat pumps are powered by renewable energy to run, this can increase to 100%, and as a result leave no carbon footprint behind.
Future Compliancy
FUTURE COMPLIANCY
As the world moves towards a renewable future and ending the use of fossil fuels in a bid to tackle climate change, heat pumps are the perfect heating upgrade. Thanks to their use of a never-ending supply of renewable energy, heat pumps provide low carbon heating.
Running Costs
RUNNING COSTS
When installed correctly, heat pumps offer much lower running costs and, in most instance, even match the running costs of gas boilers. On top of this, heat pumps also require minimal maintenance and have a long life span and also have the potential to increase your property’s value.
Performance
PERFORMANCE
Heat pumps are a well-established, proven technology, that are economically viable and flexible in their application for domestic heating. They provide and meet both hot water and heating requirements.
