BUS - The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The BUS - Boiler Upgrade Scheme has officially launched to help homeowners afford the upfront costs of transiting from expensive energy sources to more affordable and green heat pumps. The scheme will allow you to apply for grants of £7,000 for homeowners to have air source heat pumps installed, and £8,000 for ground source heat pumps.
This grant will really assist you in the transition costs associated with the move to affordable and sustainable heat pumps. By using Carbon Green Heat, a MCS accredited Installer, for you Heat Pump Solution we will assist you with you grant by applying to OFGEM (Gov) on your behalf and deduct the full grant amount from your quotation. In this way, the amount you pay upfront for your heat pump will be much closer to the amount you would pay for a traditional fossil fuel system, making it easier for you to access the significant carbon savings and running cost savings.
How Do I Get The Boiler Upgrade Scheme Grant?
The entire Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant process is led by the MCS accredited installer. So, if you chose Carbon Green Heat for your heat pump project, we will apply for and administer the grant on your behalf.
The process for obtaining your grant is the following:
-
Carbon Green Heat will produce an outline quotation for your project.
-
Once you’re happy that you want to proceed with a heat pump, you pay us to complete the full MCS designs for your property. If it’s a new build or major renovation project we can do this from plans, otherwise we will need to carry out a site survey to gather detailed information about your project.
-
After the designs are completed, we will issue a final quotation.
-
Once you accept the quotation, we will apply to Ofgem for your Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant once we have all the information we need.
-
The contract can then proceed. The payments you make to us will be the quote amount less the grant amount
-
Once the project is finished, we will redeem the voucher and we are paid the grant directly by Ofgem
