HEAT PUMP GRANT - SIMPLI GREEN

AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP GRANT

Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are a popular, eco-friendly heating option that can help reduce energy bills by using heat from the outside air to warm your home.

Heat pumps are great way to reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption.

Benefits of an Air Source Heat Pump

• Reduced Carbon Footprint: Using renewable energy from the air, heat pumps help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Versatile Heating and Cooling: Some ASHPs can reverse operation in summer, providing cooling as well.

Air Source Heat Pump Grants in the UK

The UK government currently offers grants for air source heat pumps to help offset installation costs, primarily through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and other energy efficiency programs.

1. Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)

• The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides grants to homeowners in England and Wales to replace fossil fuel boilers with low-carbon heating systems, including air source heat pumps.
• Grant Amount: £5,000 for air source heat pumps.
• Eligibility:
  • Available to homeowners and small landlords.
  • The home must meet minimum energy efficiency standards (such as having loft or cavity wall insulation).
  • New builds are generally not eligible unless they are self-build properties.

1. Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Scheme

• The ECO Scheme provides support to low-income households for energy efficiency improvements.
• The main focus is on insulation, but some households may qualify for help with a heat pump installation if they meet income-related or vulnerability criteria.
• Eligibility: Based on income and benefits eligibility, targeting those most in need.

1. Local Authority Grants and Support

• Some local councils and regional authorities offer their own grants or low-interest loans for air source heat pumps and other energy efficiency upgrades.
• These grants vary by region, so it’s worth checking with your local authority for current programs.

THE GREAT BRITISH INSULATION SCHEME (GBIS)

The Great British Insulation Scheme is a government initiative aimed at improving the energy efficiency of homes across the United Kingdom. It was introduced to help tackle rising energy costs, reduce carbon emissions, and assist homeowners in making their properties more energy-efficient, especially in the context of the UK’s commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050.

The scheme typically offers free or subsidized insulation improvements to lower-income households and vulnerable people, though eligibility criteria can vary based on income, property type, and location. These improvements might include cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, and other energy-saving measures like the installation of energy-efficient boilers.

THE GREAT BRITISH INSULATION SCHEME (GBIS) AND ECO4

The Great British Insulation Scheme program is part of broader efforts under the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, which requires larger energy suppliers to help reduce carbon emissions and fuel poverty.

Key benefits of the scheme:

1. Improved comfort: Better insulation means warmer homes in winter and cooler homes in summer.
2. Environmental impact: Lower energy usage reduces carbon emissions, helping to meet environmental targets.
