Heat Pumps & Grants in 2025: What Homeowners Need To Know (Boiler Upgrade Scheme)


Thinking about swapping your boiler for a heat pump? The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) continues to provide grants and recent guidance confirms a £295m budget for 2025/26, and the government will kick off a public campaign in September to raise awareness. Typical homeowner support has been up to £7,500 for eligible heat pump installs.

Why it matters


  • Running costs: In a well-insulated home, heat pumps can be highly efficient. Pair them with smart controls and low-flow temps for best results.

  • Future-proofing: Aligns with the Future Homes Standard direction for new builds (low-carbon heating, tighter fabric standards) and shows where retrofit expectations are headed.


What to do before you apply

  1. Assess the fabric: Insulation, airtightness and radiators sized for lower flow temperatures are key to comfort.

  2. Check eligibility and quotes: Use an MCS-certified installer and get multiple quotes that include design calculations (heat loss, emitter sizing).

  3. Plan electrical upgrades: Some homes may need consumer unit tweaks or DNO notifications.
