Understanding UK Heat Pump Rebates
Overview of Government Schemes
The UK is on a mission to decarbonise heating. A tangle of rebates and grants exist—but which ones matter?
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)
Offers up to £7,500 off an air source heat pump. - Clean Heat Grant (CHG)
An evolving pot to support low-carbon heating installations. - VAT Reduction
0% on eligible energy-saving materials—yes, including heat pumps.
These programmes are shifting all the time. Check GOV.UK for the latest. But one thing stays constant: cut-price green heat is available. No one wants to pay loans and energy bills forever.
Why Megawave Stands Out
A quick comparison against a big name—DTE Energy—reveals the gap:
- DTE offers rebate tools, financing tips and a rate plan in the US.
- Great for stateside homeowners, but limited on zero-carbon refrigerants.
- No UK-specific guidance on R290 or expert maintenance services.
Megawave, by contrast, brings:
- Zero-carbon refrigerant (R290) for a cleaner footprint.
- Full UK grant-application support—no form left unfilled.
- Expert installation and maintenance, every step of the way.
It’s not just about a cheap rate. It’s about lasting performance and genuine sustainability.
How Air Source Heat Pumps Work
At its core, an air source heat pump (ASHP) is a fridge in reverse. It extracts warmth from chilly air and pumps it indoors. In summer? It flips and cools like an AC.
Key points:
- Extracts external heat.
- Compresses it to a higher temperature.
- Delivers steady warmth or cool air.
Efficiency ratings matter:
- SEER2 for cooling. Higher = better.
- HSPF2 for heating. Ditto.
In the UK, modern ASHPs can pull heat even when it’s sub-zero outside. No more chilly mornings—just reliable comfort.
Types of Systems
- Centrally-ducted
Uses existing ducts. Perfect for furnace replacements. - Multi-head ductless mini-split
Individual zone control without ducts. Ideal for open-plan living. - Single-head ductless
Spot heating for an extension or attic conversion.
No matter your home’s layout, there’s an ASHP that fits.
Comparing DTE and Megawave Solutions
DTE’s UK(?)-Shaped Blind Spot
DTE shines in the US with:
- Interactive rebate calculators.
- CoolCurrents® electricity rate for heat pump owners.
- Federal tax credit guidance.
But in the UK:
- No support for R290 (zero-carbon refrigerant).
- No local installer network.
- Limited grant-application help for UK schemes.
Megawave’s UK-Focused Edge
Megawave ticks all the right boxes:
- We champion R290—no hidden CO₂.
- Partnership with local authorities for smooth grants.
- Expert install teams in every region.
- Flexible finance options to ease the upfront cost.
In short, we handle UK specifics so you get heat, not headaches.
Financial Benefits of Rebates and Savings
Switching to an air source heat pump can slash energy bills by up to £1,500 a year. Add the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, VAT relief, and possible Clean Heat Grant, and your net spend plummets.
Breakdown example:
- Pump cost: £12,000
- BUS grant: −£7,500
- VAT relief: −£2,000
- Net: £2,500
Then, with lower running costs, payback often falls under 5 years. After that? Pure savings.
SME Focus: Heat as an Asset, Not a Liability
For small to medium enterprises, every penny counts. Upgrading your office or workshop to an ASHP:
- Frees budget for customer-facing investments.
- Shows staff and clients you care about sustainability.
- Qualifies you for business energy schemes, too.

Sure, rebates punch a hole in the initial cost. But the real win is long-term:
- Steadier indoor temperatures.
