The UK Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) Grant
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides up to £7,500 in government grants to help homeowners transition from fossil fuel heating to clean, energy-efficient Air Source Heat Pumps. Vital Energy Solutions manages your entire grant application process from start to finish.
How the Boiler Upgrade Scheme Helps You Save
The goal of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme is to replace expensive, carbon-intensive fossil fuel heating systems with modern renewable technology. Upgrading to an Air Source Heat Pump drastically reduces household carbon emissions while lowering long-term heating costs. Paired with Solar PV and Smart Battery Storage, your home can achieve maximum energy efficiency and true grid independence. We guide you through every step of the process and apply for funding directly on your behalf.
Will the Boiler Upgrade Scheme Help You Save Money?
Homeowners across England and Wales can receive £7,500 upfront towards air source heat pump installations.
No Benefit Requirements: Unlike ECO4 or GBIS, the BUS grant is open to most homeowners regardless of income or qualifying benefits.
Advantages of Low-Carbon Heating
Drastic Reduction in Heating Bills: Heat pumps operate at up to 400% efficiency, producing far more heat per unit of electricity than gas boilers.
Future-Proof Home Energy: Eliminates dependence on volatile gas prices and protects your home against future fossil fuel phase-outs.
Increases Property Value: Transitioning to clean, renewable systems boosts your EPC rating and overall home market value.

Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) Rules & System Integration
What BUS Covers: Up to £7,500 upfront grant towards installing an Air Source Heat Pump (or Ground Source Heat Pump) replacing an existing gas, oil, LPG, or electric heating system.
What BUS Does Not Cover: The grant cannot be applied directly to Solar PV, Battery Storage, or insulation on their own. It also excludes hybrid boilers, social housing, and standard new-build properties (except self-builds).
Smart System Integration: While the BUS grant subsidizes your heat pump, pairing it with Solar PV & Battery Storage lets you generate and store cheap, clean electricity to run your heat pump—slashing your remaining grid energy bills to near zero.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme helps cover the heaviest upfront cost of your main heating system. Vital Energy Solutions designs and installs your entire low-carbon setup, applying the £7,500 BUS grant directly to your heat pump invoice.
