Can I Still Get a Grant for a Heat Pump in 2025? Everything You Need to Know

heat pump grant 2025

Here’s the Straight Answer


You’ve done the research.

You’re ready to ditch the gas boiler.

But before you dive into air source heat pumps, one question stands between you and the switch:


“Can I still get the grant?”


The answer? Yes, and it’s a big one.


In 2025, the UK government will continue to offer up to £7,500 toward your new air source heat pump through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS).


But what's the process, eligibility, and what’s included? 

That’s where most people get stuck, or worse, miss out.


So in this quick, no-fluff guide, you’ll learn:


  • Who qualifies for the grant in 2025

  • What it actually covers (and what it doesn’t)

  • How to apply (the easy way)

  • Whether you should act now or wait

Bonus: If you install your heat pump with Puraflow Renewables, we handle the grant application for you, no paperwork, no stress.


Want to cut your heating bills and make your home greener, without the full upfront cost?

Let’s break it all down.


What Is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)?


The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a government-backed incentive that helps homeowners in England and Wales switch from fossil fuel heating to low-carbon alternatives, like air source heat pumps.


And in 2025, it’s still going strong.


How Much Can You Get?


The scheme offers:


  • £7,500 towards the cost and installation of an air source heat pump

  • £7,500 for ground source heat pumps

  • No need to repay, this is a non-repayable grant, not a loan or tax rebate


With most air source heat pumps costing between £8,000 and £13,000, this grant can bring your actual out-of-pocket cost down to as low as £500–£5,500.

What’s Covered?


The grant applies to:


  • MCS-certified equipment (heat pump & controls)

  • Full installation by a certified installer

  • Commissioning and registration with Ofgem

It does not cover:

  • Insulation upgrades

  • Cylinder replacements (if needed) 

  • Non-heat-pump-related electrical work

But the good news?

You don’t need to apply for anything yourself.


When you work with Puraflow Renewables, we handle the grant paperwork for you; all you do is sign off once approved.


Who’s Eligible, And What Disqualifies You?


Before you get excited about that £7,500 grant, let’s make sure you tick the boxes.


Thankfully, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme was designed to be simple and accessible. Most homeowners will qualify, but there are a few key things to check.


You Are Eligible If:


  • You own the property (residential or small business)

  • The property is in England or Wales

  • You’re replacing a gas, oil, LPG, or direct electric heating system

  • You’re installing an MCS-certified air source heat pump with a SCOP of at least 2.8


Not sure about your EPC rating?

We’ll help you check it and advise whether basic insulation upgrades are needed as part of your free home assessment.


You Are Not Eligible If:


  • You’ve already received a BUS grant at that property

  • You’re not replacing a fossil fuel heating system (i.e., you have no existing heating)

  • You’re not using an MCS-certified installer (like Puraflow)


And remember:

This grant is one-time only per property, so if you're planning to act, 2025 might be your last, best shot at securing the full amount.


Installer-Managed = Stress-Free


One of the best things about BUS is that you don’t have to fill in any forms.


Your installer applies on your behalf, manages the process with Ofgem, and deducts the £7,500 directly from your quote.


At Puraflow Renewables, we’ve already helped dozens of homeowners secure the grant — and we handle 100% of the admin from start to finish.


Should You Apply Now, Or Wait?


Let’s be blunt:


If you’re thinking about applying for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, now is the time to move.

Here’s why:


Funding Is Limited


The scheme is government-funded with a fixed budget. 

While it’s still live in 2025, there’s no guarantee it’ll last into 2026 with the same terms.


  • When the scheme was first launched, only £450 million was allocated

  • Once it’s gone — it’s gone

  • There’s no guarantee the full £7,500 will remain available beyond this year

Translation? Delaying could cost you thousands.


The Process Takes Time


From site survey to installation to approval, the timeline is typically:


  • 1–2 weeks for your home survey

  • 1–2 weeks for grant submission and approval

  • 2–4 weeks for installation and commissioning

That means if you wait until winter, you risk:

  • Losing out on availability

  • Facing longer lead times

  • Paying full price if the grant expires or is reduced

2025 Is the Sweet Spot

Right now, we’re in a rare window where:

  • The grant is live

  • Supply chains are stable

  • MCS-certified installers like Puraflow are still booking Q3/Q4 installs

This may not be the case 6–12 months from now.


Final Verdict: Yes, You Can Still Get the Heat Pump Grant in 2025; But Don’t Wait


If you’ve been holding off on replacing your boiler, 2025 might be the last chance to do it with £7,500 shaved off the bill.


The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is:


  • Live right now

  • Straightforward to apply for (we handle it)

  • Saving UK homeowners thousands every single week

So if you're ready to:

  • Cut your heating costs

  • Future-proof your home

  • And join the clean energy transition without footing the full bill…
