About Heat Pump Grants
Understanding the factors involved when looking to receive heat pump funding.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a grant to help offset the costs associated with replacing outdated fossil fuel heating systems with more environmentally friendly alternatives like heat pumps or biomass boilers. Fossil fuel systems are generally powered by oil, gas, electricity, or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas).
You cannot get a BUS grant if:
- You are replacing a low carbon heating system.
- You are installing a hybrid heat pump system
- You live outside England and Wales.
- You don't have a valid Energy Performance Certificate.

- Government Grants: Up to £7,500 for qualifying installations.
- VAT relief: 0% VAT on installation costs.
- Energy Savings: Up to 75% more efficient than a gas boiler.
Verify Your Property's Current EPC
Ensure your property is ready for a greener future by confirming it has an active Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), valid for a decade.

I have had review of my property to determine the suitability for change from gas to heat pump, the survey was conducted in a timely and technically competent method. I would recommend this installer as the first port of call for anyone considering a heat pump system.
An installer found on WhichAirsource just completed an air source heat pump installation for us. Right from initial contact they impressed with their expertise and professionalism. They were head and shoulders above the others. The installation was completed without a hitch by a hard working and cheerful set of lads. Would recommend them without reservation
We have just had an air source heat pump installed by an installer found on WhichAirsource and I can’t praise them highly enough. From the first visit by Bradley to the end of the job took only 4 weeks. Throughout they were professional and efficient, navigating the government grant on our behalf and starting and finishing just when they promised they would.
The installer found on WhichAirsource fitted our air source heat pump, removed gas boiler and supplied new radiators. They were quick and the disruption was really kept to a minimum. Couple of snags post-installation and they were back within 24 hours and sorted it. Also sent us all our required documentation promptly. Highly recommended.

Heat Pump FAQs
An air source heat pump harnesses the natural warmth from the outdoor air and transforms it into a powerful energy source, efficiently warming your living spaces and providing hot water. Engineered to operate effectively even in frigid conditions as low as -20 degrees Celsius, these systems represent a greener and economically advantageous substitute for conventional heating methods.
Air source heat pumps outperform gas boilers in terms of efficiency, boasting a fourfold improvement, while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions by a remarkable 75%. This shift to a heat pump not only results in substantial energy cost savings but also eliminates the need for an additional gas bill if your home no longer relies on other gas appliances. Furthermore, the transition to heat pumps significantly enhances your environmental footprint, making it a sustainable choice for your heating needs.
While the outdoor unit of the heat pump does produce sound, its noise level is comparable to that of a refrigerator or a tranquil washing machine. Inside your home, the circulation pump and immersion heater emit minimal noise.
Heat pumps offer a remarkable fourfold increase in efficiency compared to traditional gas boilers. With heat pumps, you receive approximately 4kW of energy output for every 1kW of energy input, in stark contrast to boilers that yield only 0.9 kW per 1kW input. In addition to their superior efficiency, heat pumps provide a more cost-effective solution. They are characterized by easier maintenance and an extended lifespan, surpassing 18 years of reliable operation. This longevity exceeds that of gas boilers by 25%, as the typical lifespan of a boiler ranges from 10 to 15 years.
To ensure your home is a suitable candidate for a heat pump (which is the case for about 70% of homes), professional installers will start by asking you some initial questions. Following that, they will assist you in securing the grant and lead you through the application process.
