Takes about 60 seconds. Submitting this form forwards your details to an approved installer so they can contact you about the scheme.
Homeowners in BT1 can claim up to £7,500 off the cost of installing an air source or ground source heat pump under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. The grant is paid directly to the installer and reduces the price you pay.
The scheme is open to owner-occupiers and private landlords in England and Wales replacing a fossil fuel heating system (gas, oil, LPG, or electric) with a qualifying low-carbon alternative. The property must have a valid EPC with no outstanding loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations.
Eligibility can be confirmed in about 60 seconds via the online form. An approved BT1 installer will contact you within 1 to 3 working days to arrange a site survey and quote. The grant is applied at the point of installation, so there is nothing to claim back afterwards.
No, but the Boiler Upgrade Scheme is specifically for replacing a fossil fuel heating system with a heat pump. If your existing boiler is still working, you can still apply — many homeowners make the switch as part of planned home improvements or to lower long-term energy bills.
In some cases the Boiler Upgrade Scheme can be combined with Warm Homes Plan support for insulation, which makes a heat pump more effective and lowers running costs. The installer will tell you which combinations you qualify for.
Yes. Submitting the eligibility form is free and there is no obligation. If you qualify, approved installers typically offer free site surveys and written quotes before any commitment.
