£9,000 Heat Pump Grant for Households Currently Using Heating Oil (England & Wales) at Gov

Deal Description

Households in England and Wales currently heating with oil can access a government grant of up to £9,000 towards installing a heat pump. It sits within the UK’s wider home decarbonisation support, and competes with sticking with an oil boiler replacement or switching to LPG, both of which keep you tied to volatile fuel prices and ongoing servicing.

Who should consider switching from oil to a heat pump?

This is most relevant if your oil boiler is ageing, you want to reduce exposure to oil price swings, or you’re planning insulation upgrades anyway. Heat pumps work best in well insulated homes with suitably sized radiators or underfloor heating, so some properties may need extra work before you see the full benefit. Expect an installer survey to check heat loss, radiator sizing, and where the outdoor unit can go, including noise and planning considerations.

Eligibility focus: aimed at homes currently using heating oil in England and Wales
Support level: up to £9,000 off the upfront install cost

About Gov

It is designed for accessing services online, checking eligibility, and managing accounts like HMRC and Universal Credit.
