Frequently asked questions

Are rural properties prioritised for heat pump grants?

Yes. Off-gas-grid rural properties are a priority for heat pump funding under both the Warm Homes Plan and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Homes using oil or LPG heating can claim up to £7,500 off a new air or ground source heat pump through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, with additional insulation funding potentially available through the Warm Homes Plan.

How much can rural homeowners near BT15 receive?

Rural homeowners may be able to combine the Boiler Upgrade Scheme heat pump grant of up to £7,500 with Warm Homes Plan funding for insulation. Total funding depends on the property's EPC rating, household benefit status, and the specific measures required. Submit the form to find out what your property qualifies for.

Does it matter if my property is remote or hard to access?

Remoteness does not disqualify you from grants. Many rural grants are specifically intended for properties that are harder to retrofit. Accredited installers experienced in rural properties are available throughout BT15's surrounding area. The free survey will assess accessibility and confirm the best measures.

Can I get a ground source heat pump for my rural property?

Ground source heat pumps are available under both the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and the Warm Homes Plan for rural properties with sufficient land. A horizontal ground loop or vertical boreholes are required. The free survey will assess whether your land is suitable.

My rural home has solid stone walls. Can I still get insulation?

Yes. Solid-wall properties can qualify for internal or external wall insulation under the Warm Homes Plan. Stone-built rural cottages are commonly retrofitted with external insulation in areas that allow it, or internal insulation where external treatment is not appropriate.

Is the eligibility check free?

Yes. The online check is free and takes about 60 seconds. An approved installer will contact you to arrange a free survey of your rural property.
