Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a government grant administered by Ofgem for properties in England and Wales. As an MCS-certified installer, Soloris applies on your behalf and the grant is taken off the cost of your installation.
Who's eligible?
- You own the property, in England or Wales
- You're replacing a fossil fuel or electric heating system (not an existing low-carbon one)
- The property has a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
- The system is installed by an MCS-certified installer
- Not available for hybrid (boiler and heat pump) systems, social housing, or most new builds
The £9,000 rate
The property must be off the gas grid (no mains gas and no gas meter point; capped or clamped meters count as on-grid), not on a heat network and not a new build, and the heating being replaced must run on oil or LPG.
