Great news for homeowners! UK Government increase grant.

On 20th September, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak issued an update regarding Government policies supporting our journey towards achieving Net Zero objectives.

Among the key announcements was a modification to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). The grants for air source and ground/water source heat pumps will all see an increase to £7,500 per installation, while the grant for biomass boilers will remain at £5,000.

Ian Rippin, CEO of MCS, said: 

“MCS welcomes the Government announcement today that Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant values will be increased to £7,500. Making it easier and more affordable for the average UK consumer to transition to low-carbon heating is vital if we are to reach our national decarbonisation goals. 

“More people will now have the confidence and ability to invest in low-carbon heating and this is an important step forward towards net zero.

“However, it is disappointing to see a delay in the deadline to phase out new gas boilers by 2035. The most important element of helping consumers make the right, informed, green choice is clarity and moving the goalposts now risks confusing home and business owners about what the right thing to do is.”
