• an installation capacity up to 45kWth (this covers most homes)
• a current energy performance certificate (EPC), with no outstanding recommendations for loft or cavity wall insulation Check your EPC report.


Find out what to do if your property has recommendations for loft or cavity wall insulation.

Excluded properties
Grants are not available for:

• social housing
• new build properties (apart from certain self-builds)
• properties that have already had government funding or support for a heat pump or biomass boiler There is different funding available for social housing.

If you own a new build property
New build properties built at scale by development companies are not eligible at the point at which they are being built.

If a fossil fuel boiler was already in place when you moved into your property, this may be considered a retrofit project and you can apply for a heat pump under the scheme.

If you own a self-build property
To be eligible, a self-build must have:

• been built mainly using the labour or resources of the first owner
• not been owned by a business or organisation

You will need to provide proof to your installer that your property is a self-build, for example a copy of the title deeds.

Product eligibility
Grants are only available for:

• air source heat pumps (excluding air-to-air heat pumps)
• biomass boilers
• ground source heat pumps (including water source heat pumps and those on shared ground loops)

Hybrid heat pump systems, for example a combination of a gas boiler and air source heat pump, are not eligible.

UK Gas & Plumb Care will advise which heating system is suitable for your property and help you to understand the different options.
