The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) offers Ealing homeowners cash grants to replace old boilers with low-carbon heating systems. From July 2026 to March 2027, you can claim £7,500 for air source or ground source heat pumps, or £9,000 if you're replacing an oil or LPG boiler. The scheme is designed to make green heating more affordable and is open to owner-occupiers and landlords across Ealing.

How it works

  1. Get a quote from an MCS installer. Contact Opennest to receive quotes from certified installers in Ealing. They'll assess your home and confirm which heating system suits you best.
  2. Your installer applies for the BUS grant. The installer submits your application to the scheme on your behalf. You'll need proof of residency and energy bills to support the application.
  3. Receive your grant and have the system installed. Once approved, the £7,500 or £9,000 grant is paid to your installer, reducing your out-of-pocket cost. Installation typically takes 2–5 days.
