Save upto £7,500 on the cost of a heating upgrade!

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. 

 Am I Eligible?

The BUS is open to homeowners in England and Wales who own a property with a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system. There might be some additional eligibility criteria, so it's always best to check the official government website: www.gov.uk/apply-boiler-upgrade-scheme
