Eligibility

Who qualifies for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is open to homeowners across London. You'll typically qualify if the following apply to your property:

  • You own a home in England or Wales (London fully covered)
  • The property has a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
  • No outstanding recommendations for loft or cavity wall insulation on your EPC
  • You're replacing fossil-fuel heating — gas, oil, or LPG (or electric storage heaters)
  • The new system is installed by an MCS-certified installer

Not sure whether your London home qualifies? That's exactly what our free eligibility check is for. We review your EPC, your current heating, and your property type before you commit to anything.

Common questions

Heat pump grant FAQs

How much is the heat pump grant in London?

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) provides a £7,500 grant towards an air source heat pump, or £7,500 towards a ground source heat pump. The grant is the same across all London boroughs and is deducted from your installation quote — you don't pay it upfront and claim it back.

Who is eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?

You must own a home in England or Wales with a valid EPC that has no outstanding insulation recommendations. The grant is for replacing fossil-fuel heating systems (gas, oil, or LPG boilers) or electric storage heaters with a heat pump installed by an MCS-certified installer.

Do I claim the grant myself?

No. The grant is claimed by your MCS-certified installer directly from Ofgem and applied as a discount on your quote. Trade Response manages the whole process — eligibility, paperwork, and installer matching — on your behalf.

How much does a heat pump cost in London after the grant?

A typical air source heat pump installation in London costs £10,000–£14,000 before the grant. After the £7,500 BUS grant, most London homeowners pay between £2,500 and £6,500 depending on property size and system complexity.

Is my London property suitable for a heat pump?

Most London homes — including Victorian and Edwardian terraces — can accommodate an air source heat pump. Our specialists assess your property type, insulation, and available outdoor space during the free survey before recommending a system.
