Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) — Up to £7,500 Off Heat Pumps
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is the UK government's flagship initiative to help homeowners transition to low-carbon heating. With grants of up to £7,500, it makes heat pumps affordable for families across England and Wales.
Through our partnership with Fleetwood Community Trust and as MCS-certified installers, we're helping local families access these substantial grants — making the switch to clean, efficient heating without the upfront costs.
