Introduction
Heating your home or business shouldn’t cost the Earth—literally. The UK’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) offers heat pump grants to help you switch from fossil fuel boilers to efficient, eco-friendly solutions.
Megawave brings you air source heat pumps that use zero-carbon refrigerants. Less carbon. More comfort. Lower bills.
Sounds good? Let’s dive in.
What Are Heat Pump Grants?
In 2024, the government introduced the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to push low-carbon tech. Here’s what you need to know about heat pump grants:
- £7,500 towards an air source heat pump
- £7,500 towards a ground source heat pump (includes shared loops)
- £5,000 for a biomass boiler
You can claim one grant per property. Systems must hit efficiency targets. No hybrids allowed. Think of it as a voucher for cleaner heating.
Why These Grants Matter
- Cost barrier? Slashed.
- Carbon footprint? Shrinks.
- Heating bills? Drop like a stone.
It’s like finding a fifty-pound note in your winter coat—unexpected, delightful, and perfect timing.

Maximising Your Cost Savings
A lower energy bill isn’t the only perk. Consider:

- Low maintenance. Annual check-ups beat boiler breakdowns.
- Smart controls. Integrate with your home automation.
Think of it like switching from a leaky bucket to a sealed tank. Less waste, more efficiency.
Real Numbers
On average, an air source heat pump can cut heating costs by 30–60%. Over ten years, that’s thousands saved. Plus, you get a £7,500 grant. It’s immediate relief and long-term gain.
Environmental Impact
We all feel the climate pinch. Burning gas releases CO₂. Heat pumps run on electricity—ideally from renewables. With R290 refrigerant, Megawave pumps have near-zero global warming potential.
- You reduce emissions
- You support green energy targets
- You sleep better, knowing you did your bit
It’s not just heating. It’s a planet-friendly practice.

Not sure if an air source heat pump suits you? Here’s a quick glance:
| Option | Grant | Footprint | Installation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Air Source Heat Pump | £7,500 | Low (R290) | Quick, minimal ground work |

Key Considerations Before You Apply
Before you hit “apply,” ask yourself:

A quick chat with a Megawave expert clears doubts. Zero sales pressure. Just facts and friendly advice.
