Brilliant news for Gloucestershire homeowners looking to stay comfortable year-round whilst reducing their energy bills. The government has expanded the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) to include Air2Air heat pumps – marking the first time that air conditioning technology has been eligible for government funding.
What’s Changed?
Until now, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme only covered traditional air source and ground source heat pumps. The scheme has now been widened to include Air2Air systems, opening up government support to many more households across Gloucestershire and the south west.
This expansion is part of the government’s £13.2 billion Warm Homes Plan, designed to help families across the UK cut their energy costs and carbon emissions.
The Grant: What You Need to Know
Amount: £2,500 towards your Air2Air heat pump installation
Eligibility: Available to homeowners in England (including renters with landlord permission)
How it works: The grant is deducted directly from your installation cost – you don’t need to claim it back
No income limits: Unlike some schemes, there are no household income restrictions
Why Air2Air Heat Pumps Make Sense
Air2Air heat pumps offer something unique: they provide both heating and cooling from a single system. Here’s what makes them such a smart choice:
- Year-Round Comfort: Stay warm in winter and cool during summer. One system does both jobs efficiently.
- Lower Running Costs: Air2Air systems are incredibly efficient, typically producing 3-4 times more energy than they consume. This can lead to significant savings on your heating bills.
- Perfect for Certain Properties: They’re ideal for flats, smaller homes, properties without central heating, or homes where traditional wet heating systems aren’t practical.
- Cleaner, Greener Heating: By using renewable energy from the air, Air2Air heat pumps produce far fewer carbon emissions than gas boilers or electric heaters.
- Improved Air Quality: Most systems include filtration that removes dust, pollen, and allergens from your home’s air.
How Much Does Installation Cost?
Installation costs vary depending on your property size and specific requirements.
Smaller Properties & Bungalows: For flats, smaller houses, and bungalows, the £2,500 grant could cover around a third of your installation cost, making Air2Air heat pumps a very affordable option.
Larger Properties: For larger properties or homes requiring hot water solutions and boiler decommissioning, costs will be higher – but the grant still provides substantial savings.
