Do I qualify for the Air Source Heat Pump Grant?
Qualifying for the boiler upgrade scheme:
A simple guide
Air source heat pumps are an eco-friendly way to heat your home, reducing both your carbon footprint and your energy bills. These systems work by absorbing heat from the outside air and using it to warm your home, even in cold temperatures. Given their efficiency and sustainability, switching to Air Source Heat Pumps is a great move for both your wallet and the environment.
However, the initial cost of installation can be a hurdle for many homeowners. This is where the air source heat pump grant comes into play. This government-backed initiative is designed to make renewable heating solutions more accessible, offering financial support to cover a significant portion of the installation costs. By taking advantage of this grant, you can enjoy the benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps without the hefty upfront expenses.
Why most people can qualify!
Given the broad criteria, many homeowners will find they meet the requirements. If your home is reasonably energy efficient and you’re looking to replace an outdated heating system, the odds are in your favour.
Key requirements for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme:
- Home Ownership
