When the Government announced its Heat and Buildings Strategy in the Autumn last year, emphasis was placed on air source heat pumps as a low carbon heating solution which could significantly help reduce the carbon footprint of household heating. A lot of homes today are currently kept warm by a traditional fossil fuel boiler, such as a gas or oil boiler, but as the country moves towards achieving Net Zero, many homes will need to turn to renewable energy to reduce their dependency on high carbon fuels. This is where air source heat pumps, such as the heat pump from OSB, can step in.
Air source heat pumps, which utilise the heat energy in the air and transfer it into useable energy within a heating system, are already helping thousands of UK homes with their heating and hot water. Installing an air source heat pump is not the same as installing a boiler so the installation costs can be higher. This is one of the reasons why the Government introduced the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to provide consumers with financial support to assist their transition to low carbon heating.
To help homeowners understand this scheme, we have put together a series of Q&As relating to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme here. The answers given below are correct at the time of publication.
What funding is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) provides eligible applicants with a capital grant to support their installation of a low carbon heating system. Through the BUS, grants of £5,000 are available towards the installation and capital costs of air source heat pumps and, in some limited circumstances biomass boilers, with grants of £6,000 available for ground source and water source heat pumps.
