Check the main Boiler Upgrade Scheme considerations before speaking with an MCS-certified installer.
Reviewed by James Thornton, MCS-certified renewable energy consultant. Informational guide only.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can reduce the upfront cost of eligible heat pump installations, but the overall return depends on insulation, radiator sizing, current heating fuel, electricity tariff and seasonal performance.
An installer should assess heat loss, hot water needs and whether emitters need upgrading. A calculator can model the economics, but it cannot replace a property survey.
Use the heat pump calculator to model grant support, running costs and payback. If the result is worth exploring, request no-obligation quotes from MCS-certified installers.
CalcAI shows the calculator result before any contact details are requested. If you choose to request quotes or an introduction, the next step is optional and no obligation.
