Apply for a free £6,000 grant to upgrade your boiler.

Through a new scheme, homeowners may now apply for a one-time subsidy of up to £6,000 to replace their gas boiler.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is now open as part of a larger effort to persuade Brits to switch to heat pumps.

The government now intends to ban gas boilers in all new build residences beginning in 2025.

As part of its aims to reach net zero by 2050, the installation of gas boilers might potentially be phased out totally beginning in 2035.

At this time, the intentions to restrict gas boilers are only ideas.

It is anticipated that homeowners would just need to transition to a different energy source.

Heat pumps are regarded as the most advantageous choice for replacing gas boilers.

They function much like a refrigerator in reverse, taking heat from the air, ground, or water.

A heat pump can cost between £6,000 and £8,000, according to the Energy Saving Trust, and between £10,000 and £12,000.

This implies you’d have to contribute an additional £1,000 to £7,000 on top of the grant for the installation.

How to Make an Application for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme

The Government is providing a £450 million cash for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.

Most eligible households will be able to qualify for £5,000 off the cost and installation of an air source heat pump through the initiative.
