Understanding UK Heat Pump Grants
Installing an air source heat pump doesn’t have to break the bank. Governments and energy companies across the UK want to help you swap out gas or oil systems for greener, more efficient ones. Let’s compare the big four schemes:
Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)
- What it offers
A £7,500 grant for homeowners in England and Wales replacing an old fossil-fuel boiler with an air source heat pump. - Who’s eligible
• Own your home (no new builds)
• Existing system must be gas, oil or electric
• Installation by an MCS-certified installer - CB Heating’s take
They offer to handle your BUS application as part of their install package. - Why Megawave does it better
We don’t just submit forms—we optimise your system design to hit maximum grant value. Plus our certified team uses R290 refrigerant, so you get greener tech alongside the funding boost.
Energy Company Obligation (ECO4)
- What it offers
Funding for households with EPC bands E, F or G. Measures range from insulation to low-carbon heating like heat pumps. - Who’s eligible
• Low-income or vulnerable households
• Off-gas-grid homes included - Key aim
Tackle fuel poverty and reduce carbon emissions. - Megawave edge
We partner with energy suppliers to fast-track ECO4 applications. Our local surveyors identify every qualifying measure—so you can unlock more support in one go.
Warm Homes Fund
This fund has two strands, both aimed at the most vulnerable.
Warm Homes: Local Grant
- Who benefits
• Private owners or renters in England
• Annual household income ≤ £36,000 or on means-tested benefits
• EPC band D–G - What it covers
Full funding for the first property, 50% for additional ones. - Megawave’s role
We guide landlords and councils through the bidding process, ensuring air source heat pumps meet scheme criteria.
Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund
- Who benefits
Social landlords, housing associations and registered charities. - What it covers
Upgrading social housing stock to EPC band C or above. - Megawave’s role
We work directly with registered providers to deliver large-scale retrofit projects, handling everything from grant bids to maintenance.
Finance Offers to Bridge the Gap
Even with grants in place, you might need flexible payment terms. CB Heating advertises plans from £56.54/month—but Megawave takes it further:
- Customised finance packages
- Low deposit options
- Competitive rates over 5–10 years
- One-stop application as part of your installation
By combining grants with our tailored finance, you’ll pay less upfront and still benefit from generous home heating incentives. Discover home heating incentives with Megawave’s flexible finance plans
