Save upto £7,500 on the cost of a heating upgrade! July 11, 2024 What is the BUS Grant?BUS stands for boiler upgrade scheme and is a government grant available in England and Wales that helps homeowners switch from traditional fossil fuel boilers (gas, oil, LPG) to cleaner, lower-carbon alternatives. What Can I Get? The BUS offers upfront grants to cover a portion of the cost of installing a new heat pump or, in limited circumstances, a biomass boiler. Here's the breakdown: *Air source heat pump:* Up to £7,500 towards the cost and installation. **Ground source heat pump:* Up to £7,500 towards the cost and installation. * *Biomass boiler:* Up to £5,000 towards the cost and installation. Why Go Low Carbon? There are plenty of reasons to ditch the fossil fuels: 1. Save Money: Heat pumps are far more efficient than traditional boilers, meaning lower energy bills in the long run. 2. Help the Environment: Low-carbon heating systems reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping to combat climate change. 3. Future-Proof Your Home: With the UK aiming to be net zero by 2050, low-carbon heating is the way of the future.
