Government Grants for Air Source Heat Pumps

The Government scheme for air source heat pump grants aims to reduce emissions but also cut the cost of fitting heat pumps so that more households can afford them. The idea is to ensure that low carbon, more efficient heating systems, such as heat pumps, will be no more expensive – and in many cases cheaper – to buy and run than gas boilers. Most homeowners, public landlords and private landlords in England and Wales will be able to participate in the scheme. The grant won’t, however, be available to those in social housing and new-build properties.

Northern Ireland has a different energy system, while the scheme won’t be available to those in Scotland.

This cash is designed to help cover the cost of everything from the pump to the installation, including any required changes to your home. For example, you may need to have new radiators installed that work with heat pumps. You will, however, be expected to pay for any shortfall on the final bill – see below.

The £5,000 air source heat pump grant is unlikely to cover all installation costs and you’re expected to foot the bill for the balance. Heat pumps (and their installation) cost between £10,000 and £12,000 on average. The idea is that you will end up paying roughly the same amount as you would for a gas boiler.

Air Source Heat Pump Grants in Scotland

People who live in Scotland can apply to be part of the Scottish Government’s Warmer Homes Scotland scheme, which offers support and funding to households struggling to stay warm and pay their heating bills. Expert advisors offer advice tailored specifically to your home, which can include insulation, tackling condensation and damp, and switching to a renewable heating system like a heat pump. The scheme is aimed at homeowners and private sector tenants who have lived in their home for more than 12 months, and who meet various criteria, such as their house having an energy rating of 67 or lower and which isn’t more than 230 square metres in floor size. Over 17,000 Scottish households have already had energy saving measures installed in their homes using the scheme, and have saved an average of £300 per year on energy bills.

Home Energy Scotland Loan

Funding of up to £38,500 per home is available to owner occupiers in Scotland from the Home Energy Scotland loan. This includes £15,000 for a range of energy efficiency improvements, plus an additional £17,500 for the installation of clean, renewable energy systems such as heat pumps. It’s important to note that this system is a loan, rather than a air source heat pump grant, and you will be expected to pay it back. The amount you have to repay, and the amount of time you can take to repay it, varies depending on how much you borrow. However, it is an interest-free loan, which means you pay back the exact amount you borrowed and will not accrue more debt over time. You can’t begin work on installing an air pump until you have received the loan offer in writing, meaning you can’t claim for an air pump that was installed before you made your application.

Don’t often do reviews but felt this warranted one. A little slow getting the fitting date sorted out but once this had been sorted everything was plain sailing from start to finish. Can’t fault the engineer who fitted my combi boiler. Nothing was to much trouble to him, explained everything has he went along. Would recommend without hesitation.

The old boiler and tank were removed and the new condensing boiler fitted by the two installers from XL Heating. They were friendly, informative and tidy, working well as a team for two days. So far very happy.
