Bills that never stop climbing

Every winter seems to cost more than the last, and oil or LPG top-ups hit harder each time you fill up.

Paying for heat you never feel

An older boiler burns far more fuel than it needs to, so much of what you spend disappears straight out of the house.

No idea where to start

Heat pumps sound promising, but is your home suitable, what will it really cost, and who can you trust to fit one?

Why Switch to a Heat Pump

Better for your bills. Better for your home.

Find out why thousands of UK homeowners are making the switch this year.

Lower Your Heating Bills

Heat pumps deliver around 3 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity used, making them far more efficient than oil or LPG. That can mean real savings month after month, especially on smart tariffs built for heat pump owners.

Boiler Upgrade Scheme

What is the £7,500 Grant?

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a UK government programme that helps homeowners replace fossil fuel heating with low-carbon alternatives like heat pumps. The grant reduces the upfront cost significantly and does not need to be repaid.

One-off payment, no repayment The grant is applied directly to the cost of your installation. You never pay it back.

Your installer handles the paperwork Only MCS-certified installers can apply for the BUS grant, which is why the installer you are matched with is certified to do it.

Limited places available each year The scheme has a finite budget. Homeowners who act earlier are more likely to secure their application.
