Heat Pump Grant Increased To £7,500
Yesterday Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a raft of policy changes regarding the UK’s approach to achieving net zero. The majority of the announcement related to pushing back the timeframes for bans on fossil fuel vehicles and boilers. However, the Prime Minister also announced a very welcome boost to the heat pump sector, with the news that the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant will be increasing to £7,500 for all technologies.
Boiler Upgrade Scheme Grant - Update On Progress
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme officially launched on 23rd May, and since then we’ve been busy making applications on our customer’s behalf for their heat pump installations. Throughout June we started to receive pay-outs from Ofgem under the scheme, which provides either £5,000 or £6,000 towards the cost of installing an air source or ground source heat pump.
Introducing The Alto Assured Heat Pump Installer Scheme
Following the start of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for heat pumps, Alto Energy is excited to launch their new Alto Assured Heat Pump Installer Scheme at this year’s Installer Show at the NEC in Birmingham. The new scheme provides the best way for installers to quickly gain access to the heat pump market and install properly designed and commissioned heat pump systems.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme Starts Today
In an exciting day for the heat pump industry, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is now open and accepting new grant applications. As an MCS certified contractor, as well as part of our Alto Assured Installer Scheme, Alto Energy is registered with Ofgem to administer BUS grant applications for our customers.

Our free course represents a unique opportunity for heating installers to quickly get started installing heat pumps.
Running costs of heat pumps versus gas boilers
A new report by the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) has shown that the ever-increasing prices of fossil fuels means that gas boilers are become more expensive to run. The analysis below shows that, with an efficient heat pump, households can now save up to 27% on their heating bills compared to a gas boiler.
