Frequently Asked Questions

How much is the BUS grant for heat pumps?

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) provides up to £9,000 towards the cost for off-grid properties (£7,500 for mains gas) of installing an air source heat pump or ground source heat pump in England and Wales. This grant significantly reduces the upfront installation cost.

How much can I save with a heat pump?

Heat pumps are typically 3-4 times more efficient than traditional heating systems. Most homeowners see annual savings of 60-70% on heating costs compared to oil, LPG, or old electric heating systems. Gas users may see lower but still significant savings, especially as gas prices rise.

What is the payback period for a heat pump?

With up to £9,000 BUS grant reducing upfront costs, most homeowners see a payback period of 5-8 years through reduced energy bills. Heat pumps typically last 20-25 years, providing savings for many years beyond the payback period.
