CHECK YOUR ELIGIBILITY
Grant amounts and eligibility are subject to the current Boiler Upgrade Scheme rules and funding availability.
If your home is currently heated by oil or LPG, you may be considering what your options are when your existing boiler needs replacing.
A heat pump could be an alternative worth considering.
Heat pumps work differently from traditional boilers and can provide heating and hot water without burning oil or LPG.
For eligible off-gas-grid properties in England and Wales, replacing a qualifying oil or LPG heating system with an eligible heat pump could also mean you qualify for up to £9,000 of Government funding through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
That depends on your property, insulation, existing heating system, available space and heating requirements.
KernowPlumb can discuss your circumstances and help you understand whether a heat pump could be a suitable option.
