How to get the Government’s £7,500 Heat Pump grant

Posted on 15th June 2025

3-minute read: 

The UK Government is currently offering a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant to help homeowners in England and Wales replace old gas or oil boilers with energy-efficient air source or ground source heat pumps.

This scheme is designed to support the move to greener home heating and reduce carbon emissions by making heat pump installation more affordable.

Who Is Eligible for the £7,500 Heat Pump Grant?

You can apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant if:

  • You live in England or Wales (excludes new-builds and social housing)
  • You're replacing a gas boiler, oil boiler, or electric heating system
  • You have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) (you can get a new one if needed)
  • You haven’t already claimed a heat pump grant

You can still apply even if you've received other government grants for insulation, new doors or windows, or if you've had a free boiler scheme in the past.
