The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has been increased to offer eligible off-grid properties up to £9,000 towards the cost of installing an air source or ground source heat pump. This is great news for rural homeowners and small businesses across Norfolk who are looking for a more efficient, future-ready alternative to traditional fossil fuel heating.
What is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a government-backed grant designed to help property owners in England and Wales replace fossil fuel heating systems with low-carbon alternatives, such as heat pumps.
Rather than receiving the money directly, the grant is usually applied for by your MCS-certified installer and deducted from the cost of your installation. This means the upfront cost shown in your quote can be reduced before the work begins.
The increased £9,000 grant is aimed at eligible off-gas grid properties that currently use oil or LPG heating.
This could be particularly useful for homes and businesses in rural parts of Norfolk, where mains gas is not always available and heating costs can be higher or more unpredictable.
You may be eligible if:
- Your property is in England or Wales
- You are replacing an existing oil or LPG heating system
- You are installing an eligible air source or ground source heat pump
- The installation is carried out by an MCS-certified installer
- The property meets the scheme’s requirements

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners who want to reduce their reliance on oil, LPG or other fossil fuels.
They work by taking heat from the air or ground and using it to warm your home and hot water. When designed and installed correctly, they can provide reliable heating all year round.
Some of the key benefits include:
- Lower-carbon heating for your home
- A more future-ready heating system
- Less reliance on oil or LPG
- Support through government grant funding
- Efficient heating when installed as part of a suitable system design
Is a heat pump right for every property?
Not every home is the same, which is why it is important to get proper advice before deciding whether a heat pump is the right option.
The size of your property, insulation levels, existing heating system, radiators, hot water requirements and outdoor space can all affect what type of system is most suitable.
A professional assessment will help identify whether your home is heat pump ready, or whether any upgrades may be recommended before installation.
