Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to provide a grant for homeowners to upgrade their gas boilers to heat pumps.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), which is due to launch in April 2022, will provide financial support for the installation of low carbon heat technologies in homes and small non-domestic buildings in England and Wales. The BUS will provide grants of £5,000 towards the installation and capital costs of air source heat pumps and £6,000 for ground source heat pumps.
