Learn MoreThe Heat Pump Grant in the West Midlands: How It Works and Who Qualifies
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme in plain English, what changed in 2026, and what you don't need to pay for
The grant, in plain English
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme: the government grant for replacing a fossil fuel heating system with a heat pump. Run by Ofgem, paid to the installer, taken off your bill.
- £7,500: the standard amount for an air source heat pump in a gas heated home in England.
- £9,000: the current amount for homes heated by oil, LPG or electric storage heaters. A temporary uplift.
- MCS certified installer: the grant is only available through installers certified under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme. We are.
- Heat loss calculation: a room by room calculation of how much heat the house needs. Required for the grant, done at the survey.
- EPC: the Energy Performance Certificate. You need one, but since 2026 it no longer has to show no outstanding insulation recommendations.
- Upfront discount: the grant is shown on the quote and invoice. You pay the net figure. The installer claims the grant after commissioning.
- Fossil fuel boiler removed: the grant requires the old gas, oil or LPG system to come out. You can't keep it as a backup.
- Zero VAT: separate from the grant, heat pump installations are zero rated for VAT.
Who qualifies, and what's involved
- Homeowners in England: you own and live in the property, or it's a rental you own. Most homes in the West Midlands qualify.
- Replacing a fossil fuel or electric system: gas, oil, LPG or electric heating going out, a heat pump going in. A house that's never had heating doesn't qualify.
- An EPC: valid within the last ten years. If you don't have one, we can arrange it.
- Before the work starts: the application goes in before installation and you confirm it by email. Work started before the application is not funded.
- Commissioning and certificate: the system is commissioned and the MCS certificate issued. That's what releases the grant to the installer.
- Timing: from survey to installation is usually two to four weeks, most of which is the application and the parts.
Honest advice: what's overkill
- Paying someone to “manage” the grant: the application is the installer's job and part of the price. A fee to process it is a fee for nothing.
- Rushing because “the grant is ending”: the scheme runs to 2028 as things stand. Take the survey, take the quote, take your time. The £9,000 uplift for oil and LPG is the only part with a shorter window.
- Insulating the whole house first just for the grant: since 2026 the grant doesn't require it. Insulation is still worth doing for running costs, but it's your choice, not a condition.
- A heat pump because the grant makes it cheap: £2,500 after grant is a good price for a heating system, but only if the house suits one. If it doesn't, we'll tell you and a new boiler is the better spend.
- Worth paying for: nothing extra. The grant, the application, the heat loss calculation and the MCS certificate are all in the quote.
When to check
If the boiler is over ten years old, or you're planning any heating work, check before you spend on gas. Send your postcode and how the house is heated now. Check if I qualify
