From July 2026 to March 2027, you could receive £7,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump installation, or £9,000 if you're replacing oil or LPG heating. These grants significantly reduce the upfront cost of switching to renewable heating.
Opennest connects homeowners across Hammersmith and Fulham with MCS-certified installers who can help you understand your eligibility and manage the application process. The scheme is available for properties across the borough—whether you're in Fulham, Hammersmith, or elsewhere in the area.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a government initiative that provides cash grants towards the cost of replacing a fossil fuel boiler with an air source heat pump (ASHP), ground source heat pump (GSHP), or biomass boiler. In Hammersmith and Fulham, you can receive £7,500 for an ASHP or GSHP, or £9,000 if replacing oil or LPG heating. The scheme runs until 31 March 2027.
You're likely eligible if you own a property in Hammersmith and Fulham with a working fossil fuel boiler (gas, oil, or LPG), and you're replacing it with a heat pump. The property must be at least 2 years old. Your MCS-certified installer can assess your specific situation during a survey, as some properties may have restrictions.
The grant covers £7,500 of the installation cost for air or ground source heat pumps. If you're replacing oil or LPG heating, you'll receive £9,000. The total cost of installation varies depending on your property and the type of heat pump, but the grant significantly reduces your upfront investment. Your installer will provide a full quote.
You don't apply directly to the government. Instead, you get a quote from an MCS-certified installer—like those in Opennest's network across Hammersmith and Fulham—and they submit your application to the scheme administrator on your behalf. They'll handle all the paperwork, making the process straightforward.
After your installer submits your application, you'll typically receive a decision within 4–6 weeks. Once approved, the grant is paid to your installer, who then schedules your installation. The whole process from quote to completed installation usually takes 2–3 months, though this can vary.
