Find out if you’re eligible for a grant for the ZEB heat battery boiler under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a UK government–backed grant designed to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuel heating and towards low-carbon technologies. Administered by Ofgem, the scheme provides financial support to property owners in England and Wales, helping reduce the cost of replacing traditional gas, oil or LPG boilers with efficient, renewable heating systems.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is running until March 2030 and is part of the government’s £14.7 billion Warm Homes Plan, making it one of the UK’s most significant incentives for low-carbon heating. By lowering installation costs and encouraging the adoption of clean heat, the scheme plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency and supporting the UK’s transition to net zero – while delivering long-term comfort and sustainability for properties nationwide.
