Understanding the UK Climate-Friendly Heating Grants 2024
What’s on Offer?
The UK government’s drive to hit net-zero means big incentives for renewable heating. Here’s a quick snapshot:
- A £5,000 grant via the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) for homeowners replacing an old system with an air source heat pump.
- Up to 35% of the installation cost covered, if you tap into additional local authority top-ups or energy company obligations.
- Support for landlords, small businesses, and social housing to make green heating a reality.
- Extra incentives for low-income households through schemes like ECO4.
Most importantly, these grants are available throughout 2024, but funds are limited. Applying early can protect your spot.
Who Can Apply?
Nearly anyone with a gas, oil, or LPG heating system qualifies. You’ll need:
- Proof you own the property (or landlord consent).
- A valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
- An MCS-certified installer to handle your pump.
- To occupy—or rent out—the property after installation.
Small businesses and landlords can also join in. If you manage multiple units, you could see significant savings on collective heating bills.

Real Savings and Environmental Impact
Let’s talk numbers. A typical four-bedroom home using an air source heat pump can see:
- 30–40% cut in annual heating bills.
- 1.5 tonnes less COâ‚‚ emissions every year.
- A payback period as short as 5–7 years, once grants are considered.
Think of it like installing a top-grade insulation jacket around your boiler—but one that pays you back. Plus, the system can reverse into cooling mode on mild summer days. Versatile.
It all adds up. And yes, the upfront price is noticeable. But factor in grants, reduced energy costs, and zero fossil-fuel reliance, and it’s a no-brainer.
