The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is helping homeowners across the UK move towards more energy-efficient heating systems by offering grants towards renewable heating installations, including air source heat pumps.
With proposed increases of up to £9,000 available for some eligible off-grid properties, there has never been a better time to explore whether a heat pump could be suitable for your home.
At Rheams Plumbing & Heating, we help homeowners across Warwickshire understand their options and provide professional advice and installation services for renewable heating systems.
What Is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a government-backed initiative designed to encourage homeowners in England and Wales to replace older fossil fuel heating systems with lower-carbon alternatives such as air source heat pumps.
The scheme can help reduce the upfront cost of installation, making renewable heating more accessible for eligible households.
