What are you trying to do right now?
Replace my boiler
Avoid another short-term fix. Plan the system that reduces gas reliance and improves long-term cost control.
Reduce bills
Understand what actually lowers your bills — not just what looks cheaper upfront.
Upgrade rental
Stay ahead of regulation and avoid reactive, last-minute upgrades.
Add solar
Use your roof to power more of your home instead of buying it back.
Whole-home upgrade paths
Choose the upgrade path that actually fits your home.
Most urgent path
Replace your boiler before it fails and avoid paying full price later.
Get the heat-pump route assessed while the £7,500 grant is still available and before a breakdown forces a rushed install.

Who we work with
Heat pumps and solar for homeowners, landlords and off-gas homes
Plan the rental upgrade path now instead of reacting later.
Use property-by-property planning, practical sequencing, and a clearer view of how the grant can support the route.
- Portfolio planning for multiple properties
- Grant support on eligible domestic rentals
- Less reactive maintenance pressure
- Stronger preparation for 2030
Move away from oil or LPG and stop building around fuel deliveries.
Off-gas properties are often where the heat-pump case becomes easier to justify both practically and financially.
- Replace oil or LPG dependency
- Longer system life
- Battery and solar resilience
- Better energy control
Use the roof to power more of the home instead of exporting cheap and buying back expensive.
Particularly relevant for EV owners, work-from-home households, and homes preparing for all-electric heating.
- Daytime demand offset
- Battery value retention
- Heat-pump-ready logic
- Better use of your own generation
Live running cost comparison
What does it actually cost per unit of heat?
Every heating system delivers heat at a different cost per kWh. This table shows the effective cost of heat — accounting for system efficiency and seasonal performance — so you can compare like for like.

Fuel prices are updated automatically. Performance figures are based on typical system assumptions. Actual running costs depend on property insulation, system design, tariff and usage. Gas and electricity prices reflect the Ofgem price cap for England and Wales (Direct Debit customers — prepayment rates are slightly higher). LPG shown is Calor 5kg propane refill price — bulk tank rates are typically lower.
Solar panels and battery storage
Your roof could power your heat pump and more of your home.
Turn more of your own generation into usable power instead of exporting it cheaply and buying it back later.
Solar
Generates during the day.
Battery
Stores value for later.
Heat Pump
Uses more of your own power.
- Solar powers the heat pump during the day.
- The battery stores value for later use.
- Cheap off-peak charging helps on grey days.
- EV charging can sit inside the same setup.
Indicative savings scenarios
£400-£800
Solar alone for a typical home with steady daytime usage.
£800-£1,400
Solar plus battery where more of that generation is used at home.
Estimates are illustrative. Actual outcomes vary based on property size, insulation, usage, system design, and energy tariffs.
Best-fit homes
- Homes with strong daytime electricity use
- EV owners and work-from-home households
- Properties planning a heat pump upgrade
- Roofs with good orientation and limited shading
Waiting has a cost here too.
Every year you delay, you stay more exposed to grid electricity costs and miss the chance to use more of your own generation on site.
Boiler Upgrade Scheme
£7,500 off and the route is managed for you.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is property-based, not means-tested, and available to eligible homeowners and landlords in England and Wales replacing fossil-fuel heating with a heat pump.
Air source heat pump£7,500
Estimates are illustrative. Actual outcomes vary based on property size, insulation, usage, system design, and energy tariffs.
Waiting could mean paying full price later. The scheme is funded to 2030, but delay still carries a practical cost when boilers fail or install schedules tighten.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme route is administered for you through an accredited MCS umbrella arrangement as part of your system.

FAQ
Heat pump, solar and grant questions answered
Before enquiry
Does my property qualify for the £7,500 grant?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is available to homeowners and landlords with properties in England and Wales. The upgrade must replace a fossil-fuel heating system — £7,500 for gas, or £9,000 for homes with no mains gas connection that are currently heated by oil or LPG. The extra £1,500 uplift is available until 31 March 2027. Note that a property on mains gas does not qualify for the £9,000 rate. Most new builds and social housing are excluded. One grant per property. We check eligibility as part of your free home assessment.
Do I have to apply for the grant myself?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme route is designed into your system and administered through our accredited MCS umbrella arrangement. The £7,500 is deducted from your installation invoice.
Estimates are illustrative. Actual outcomes vary based on property size, insulation, usage, system design, and energy tariffs.
Heat pump concerns
Do heat pumps work in older UK homes?
Yes. Modern air source heat pumps can work effectively in a wide range of UK homes, including older properties. The key is proper design around heat loss, radiator sizing, insulation, and flow temperatures.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Most air source heat pump installations take two to four working days. We give a specific estimate after the property survey and aim to minimise disruption during the final switchover.
Can I combine a heat pump with solar and battery?
Yes, and it is often the strongest whole-home route. Solar reduces the running cost of the pump and the battery helps carry more of that value into the evening.
Solar concerns
Does solar work in the UK, even in winter?
Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine. Output is lower in winter than summer, but systems still generate year-round and batteries or smart tariffs improve how much value you keep.
What are the typical savings from solar panels and a battery?
For a typical 3-bedroom home, solar alone can save around £400-£800 per year. Adding a battery can increase that to roughly £800-£1,400 depending on usage, roof orientation, and tariff.
Estimates are illustrative. Actual outcomes vary based on property size, insulation, usage, system design, and energy tariffs.
Landlords
Are landlords eligible for the BUS grant?
Yes. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is available to owners of domestic properties, including private landlords. The grant applies to the property, not the owner's income or circumstances.
Am I required to install a heat pump under the 2030 rules?
No. The route to compliance is not limited to one technology. We help landlords understand the most practical and cost-effective path for each property rather than forcing one template onto the whole portfolio.
