Questions

Do I qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?

If you own a home in England or Wales, are replacing a fossil-fuel system with an eligible heat pump, and have a valid EPC with no outstanding insulation recommendations, you likely qualify — there's no income test. Your installer must be MCS-certified.

How do I claim it?

You don't — your MCS-certified installer applies to Ofgem and takes the £7,500 off your quote. Always confirm current rules on GOV.UK.
