- £7,500 off an air-to-water or ground-source heat pump in England and Wales. Air-to-air units get £2,500 (added in 2026) and biomass boilers £5,000.
- £9,000 from 21 July 2026 for homes heated by oil or LPG (off the gas grid), expected to run to around March 2027.
- No EPC hoop any more: the EPC-certificate precondition was removed on 28 April 2026.
- Your installer claims it for you: the installer must be MCS-certified and applies on your behalf, so the grant comes straight off the quote. You never front the £7,500.
- Who qualifies: owner-occupiers, small landlords and second homes; most new-builds do not.
- Horizon: the scheme has been extended to 2030.

The heating picture in East of England
Most homes here heat with a mains-gas boiler, and the Ofgem price cap gas rate jumps 27% on 1 July 2026 (5.74p to 7.33p/kWh). With £7,500 off through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and 0% VAT until March 2027, replacing the boiler with an air source heat pump at end-of-life is now cost-competitive up front and on running costs. Rural Norfolk and Suffolk have sizeable oil-heated pockets eligible for the £9,000 uplift.
