The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Interested in installing a renewable energy heating system?
What is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
The boiler upgrade scheme launched in April 2022, with a backing of £450m from the government. The aim is to provide grants of up to £7,500 to homeowners interested in the move towards low-carbon heating sources.
By offering this grant, the aim is to reduce the barrier to entry for most households - this ensures that a heat pump installation should be a comparable price to a new boiler. The scheme will run until April 2028 at which point a new initiative will most likely take its place. To learn more, read our article on the boiler upgrade scheme here.

We had an ASHP installed by Warmaway at the end of Feb 2021 to replace storage heaters, it has completely transformed our house! Lukewarm (at best) rooms are now nice and toasty, and by all accounts so far at a fraction of the cost. Before choosing Warmaway we researched the technology and canvassed a few installers, John was the only one that was open with discussing the intricacies of the proposed system and gave us confidence that we would end up with something properly sized and installed as well as making other complimentary recommendations for ways we could improve the thermal efficiency of our
house.
All the team on site were extremely polite, tidy and hardworking and it was a pleasure to watch a skilled team do a professional job. Everything was left clean and tidy at the end and the system was explained properly. We had a courtesy follow up visit just to check we were happy with the system and tweak any settings. 2 months later everything is working perfectly and we are very happy. I recommend Warmaway to anyone who enquires about our new ASHP.
Warmaway installed an Air Source Heat Pump and several new radiators for us. Everything about the process was professional, courteous and efficient. The quote was clear and competitive and everything was explained about the system, the installation and the RHI grant. We were kept informed at every stage and knew when to expect the team to come and work.
We are 100% satisfied with our new air source heating system from Warmaway. The team were professional, courteous and very friendly. The installation has solved all the challenges we had with our ageing heat pump. I have no hesitation in recommending Warmaway for your needs.
