The new national Boiler Upgrade Scheme is now open to homeowners in England and Wales.

£5,000 grants are available to fit clean heating systems when homeowners come to replace their oil and gas boilers. The scheme has a committed budget of £450 million over three years from 2022 to 2025.

Homeowners can check their eligibility for the scheme, which covers air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, and biomass boilers.
