What are air source heat pump grants?
Grants for air source heat pumps are government-backed incentives to help you switch from gas or electric boilers to a renewable solution. They reduce your upfront cost and speed up your return on investment.
Grant amounts in England and Wales
- The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a UK renewable heating grant of £7,500.
- It applies to installations completed before March 2028.
- Your installer claims it for you, cutting your bill on the day.
Grant amounts in Scotland
- Home Energy Scotland provides grants up to £7,500, rising to £9,000 for rural properties.
- You can also get an interest-free loan of up to £7,500—meaning some households secure £15,000 in support.
- Funds must be applied for before installation.
Extra support for low-income households
- The ECO4 scheme adds funding for eligible benefit recipients.
- Applies across Scotland and Wales.
- Stack these schemes to maximise savings.
Eligibility for a UK renewable heating grant
To land a UK renewable heating grant, your set-up needs to meet a few clear rules:
- You own the property (home, holiday let or small business space).
- You replace an old fossil fuel or electric heating system.
- You use a Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS)–accredited installer.
- The property has a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) with no outstanding loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations.
- You’re not swapping out an existing heat pump or renewable system.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme and Home Energy Scotland grants are not means-tested. So even if your energy rating needs improvement, you’re still in the frame for funding.

Common questions about UK renewable heating grants
-
Can I apply if my EPC needs insulation work?
Yes. From May 2024, you can still secure a UK renewable heating grant even with outstanding loft or cavity wall recommendations. -
Do I need an MCS-accredited installer?
Absolutely. Non-accredited work won’t qualify for the grant. -
Can I combine grants and loans?
In Scotland, you can stack grants and interest-free loans up to £15,000. In England and Wales, you can’t combine beyond Boiler Upgrade Scheme and ECO4. -
What if I’m on a previous Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)?
Your RHI payments continue, but you can’t claim new scheme funds on the same property.
