Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has had discussions with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on subsidies for residential heat pump installation.

The Government has several schemes which provide support for residential heat pump installations.

The £450 million Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) offers grants of £5,000 towards the purchase and installation of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) and £6,000 towards Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP).

The £3.8 billion Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) supports the deployment of low carbon heating installations such as heat pumps alongside other energy efficiency measures in social housing.

The Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) provides support for installation of low-carbon heating measures such as heat pumps in off gas grid properties in England.
