Grants & Funding
Heat pump installations carried out under MCS certification qualify for government grants and funding.
We assist homeowners and business owners in securing these grants by handling all the necessary paperwork and application forms.
Current Grants & Funding available are the Boiler upgrade Scheme and the Welsh Government Green Homes Loan.
The UK Government are also currently developing the Warmer homes grant, for homeowners to access interest free loans for Heat Pumps, Solar and Battery Storage.
Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) provides grants to help homeowners replace fossil fuel heating systems with low-carbon alternatives like heat pumps and biomass boilers.
It's a government initiative aimed at reducing carbon emissions and decarbonizing heating.
