No, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme is not available in Scotland or Northern Ireland. The BUS scheme is for homeowners and small business properties located in England and Wales.
No, new build properties are not eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. The grant is available for existing properties only. However, self-build properties are an exception and may qualify if they meet other eligibility criteria.
If you’re claiming other grants or funding, you may still be eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. However, if the property has already received funding or support for a heat pump or biomass boiler, you will not be eligible for the scheme.
If you are unsure which system is suitable for your property, we can advise whether a heat pump or biomass boiler is required.
We do recommend that for any low carbon heating system install, that your property’s energy efficiency rating is improved to achieve the maximum performance from the system.
You can improve your home energy efficiency performance by installing loft insulation and cavity wall insulation.
However, it is not a requirement and you can still qualify for the BUS scheme.
