Get Up To £5000 Off a Heat Pump Installation
2 min read
Heat pumps are a popular and cost-effective way to heat homes in the United Kingdom. They work by extracting heat from the air or ground outside and transferring it inside, making them a highly efficient and energy-saving alternative to traditional boilers. They continue to work as low as -20c, so are suitable for virtually all weathers!
The UK government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme aims to help households in the UK upgrade their boilers and heating systems to be more energy-efficient. The scheme is designed to help lower-income households, particularly those living in fuel poverty, to make their homes warmer and more energy-efficient. The scheme offers a £5000 discount off a new heat pump installation.
To be eligible for the boiler upgrade scheme, households must meet certain requirements. These are as follows:
- Own your property
- Have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (dated within last 10 years) and no outstanding recommendations for loft or cavity wall insulation.
If you believe you may be eligible for the scheme, you can get some quotes, they'll come out and assess your home to see if it's suitable, claim the discount on your behalf and that will be deducted from the final quote.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has been extended by the UK government, but we've not been supplied any details on how many grants are still available or when it will end. If you're interested, act fast as they won't be there forever.
Overall, heat pumps are an energy-efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional boilers and the UK government's boiler upgrade scheme can help make this transition more affordable for eligible households. If you're looking to reduce your energy bills and make your home more comfortable, it is worth looking into the scheme and considering a heat pump as an option.
