The BUS offers upfront grants to reduce the installation cost of low carbon heating technologies.
BUS supports the decarbonisation of heat in buildings and provides upfront capital grants to support the installation of heat pumps and biomass boilers in homes and non-domestic buildings in England and Wales.
Grants of £7,500 are available for air source heat pumps (ASHPs) and ground source heat pumps (GSHPs), and grants of £5,000 are available for Biomass boilers. Grants are offered at a flat rate and do not vary by capacity of the installation, which must not exceed 45 kWth unless it is a shared ground loop (SGL) which may have a maximum capacity of 300kwth.
This guidance details which low carbon heating technologies and properties are eligible. It explains how property owners can find an installer that can make an application on their behalf, what is required from them, Ofgem’s approach to audit and compliance and useful contacts.
This guidance only applies to applications properly made on or after 8 May 2024.
