Is your old gas or oil boiler eating you up on a monthly basis? Do you really care about the increasing cost of energy and the environmental cost of heating your house? It has never been a better time to change the switch to a smarter, cleaner and more efficient way of living.
At North West Energy, we are assisting the homeowners in the country to move to the future of home heating. You can now claim a government-supported Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant of up to £7,500 to install your modern Air Source Heat Pump to replace your fossil fuel boiler.
It is not merely a matter of going green, but it is also about controlling your energy bills and value addition to your property. We will discuss all that you should know about the grant, how the technology works and how simple the whole process is made by North West Energy below.
The government of the UK is on a tour to achieve Net Zero and warming our houses is one of the largest issues. The old type of boilers uses fossil fuels, which are costly and environmentally unfriendly. To address this, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero introduced the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. The scheme offers a flat-rate grant of £7,500 to individuals in England and Wales who own property to cover the cost of low-carbon heating system installation.
£7,500 (It is a grant, not a loan, you do not repay it).
The replacement of the current gas, oil or electric boilers with an Air Source Heat Pump.
To achieve renewable heating as cost effective as replacing a conventional boiler.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is more inclusive than most of the other government schemes, which demand that you are on certain benefits.
The Single Major Criteria:
Home Ownership: You should be the owner of the property. This covers small buildings and domestic houses.
Land Registry: The applicant should be the individual whose name is on the Land Registry.
Existing System: You should have an existing system that you are replacing.
Note: We also like solar energy, but this particular grant is only applicable to the installation of the heat pump and not solar panels.
As brands are shaking the market, North West Energy is concerned with offering a local and personalized service prioritizing the homeowner. This is why the switch is a no brainer in 2026:
After you have ever touched the back of a fridge, you have touched a heat pump being reversed. A fridge absorbs the heat in the internal parts and expels it. An Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) collects the heat that occurs naturally on the outside and transfers it to your house.
It operates even when it is cold!
The largest myth is that heat pumps are useless during the winter in the UK. As a matter of fact, these systems are able to absorb heat of the air even when temperatures reach -15 Degree C or -20 Degree C.
Capture: Unit outside gathers air and blows it across a heat exchanger with a refrigerant.
Compress: The refrigerant is squeezed by a compressor that increases its temperature substantially.
Transfer: This heat is then passed on to your central heating system (radiators or underfloor heating) and the hot water tank in your house.
We understand that replacing your heating system is a huge task. That is why we are working on a Turnkey service. We do the paperwork, technicalities and installation for you.
Step 1: The Free Home Survey
This is the initial step in the program. We have one of our professional surveyors sent on your property. They will examine your insulation level, examine your existing radiators and find out where to place your new heat pump unit.
Step 2: The Customized quote
Step 3: Grant Application
You do not have to go through the bewildering sites of the government. We are applying to the BUS grant on behalf of you. We are set to go as soon as the land registry check has been done and the voucher issued.
Step 4: Professional Installation
Installation of your new system will be done by our certified engineers. This typically incorporates the outdoor unit, a new high efficiency hot water cylinder and any radiator upgrades required.
Step 5: Aftercare and Handover
We do not simply leave you a bunch of buttons. We demonstrate to you the proper use of your new system, how to set your timers, and how to make sure you are getting the best use of your investment.
There are many options as far as heating is concerned. Large national companies to local plumbers. The middle ground, however, is different with North West Energy:
Quality Components: We exclusively operate on Tier-1 heat pump brands, which are reputed to be silent in operation and have long life cycles.
Open Pricing: No bells and whistles. We give you the price, we present to you with the grant and that is all.
Personal Touch: You are not an ID for us. You will also have a contact point during your installation.
The fossil fuel boiler age is long gone. There has never been a better financial or environmental excuse to make the change and with the UK government offering to cover 7,500 of your upgrade there is no better time to make the change.
