US EditionScheme Giving You £7,500 Heating Grant Extended with New £2,500 Grants
The UK Government offers £2,500 grants for air-to-air heat pumps and heat batteries to help flats and small homes reduce gas use and energy bills, officials said.
- The UK Government expanded the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to include air-to-air heat pumps and heat batteries, offering households a 2,500 discount on installation.
- Targeting smaller properties, officials argued the move addresses retrofit barriers for people in flats and small homes, encouraging electric heating to reduce gas reliance, energy analysts said.
- Most grants are 'installer-led', so MCS-certified installers apply the discount and provide a full quote; check your Energy Performance Certificate and note systems must be commissioned within 120 days, with details on GOV.UK and guidance from the Energy Saving Trust.
- New grants could slash upfront costs by covering more than half the cost of an average small or flat-sized system, while heat batteries let households store off-peak electricity to cut bills.
- The government is consulting on integrating thermal storage, infrared panels and renewable fuels while Jess Ralston, Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, warned that without large-scale electric heating, UK risks more foreign gas dependence as North Sea production declines.
