Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme Pay for a New Boiler?
No — despite the name, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not fund a conventional replacement gas boiler. Here is what it does cover, and what to do instead.
Guides
Home heating guides
Longer reads for the questions that a service page cannot answer in a paragraph: whether a heat pump suits your house, how the technologies actually compare, and what the Boiler Upgrade Scheme really covers.
Every guide states its answer first and explains it afterwards. Where a guide touches on grant values, it links to the scheme pages rather than repeating the figures, so nothing here can quietly go out of date.
