Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)

- The boiler upgrade scheme is a Government backed scheme operated by OFGEM the UK energy regulator.
- The scheme designed to offer a cash incentive to home owners to make the transition away from an existing fossil fuel boiler to a heat pump. Self builders are also eligible for the grant if installing a heat pump in a newly built property.
- The aim of the BUS is to increase the amount of heat pumps being installed in England and Wales to meet the UK's future emissions goals
- Your property must meet a minimum epc standard as defined by OFGEM. In general the property must have double glazed windows, a good amount of loft insulation, and cavity wall insulation (if possible).
- The grant amount has just been increased from £5,000 to £7,500 as of September 2023.
- At Plumbtec, we arrange all of the paperwork and submit the application to OFGEM on your behalf. This makes the process even easier for our clients. Contact us today for more information
