Independent guide to the UK Boiler Upgrade Scheme
BUSGrant.co.uk is an independent consumer guide to the Ofgem-administered Boiler Upgrade Scheme. We are not a government body and have no commercial relationship with Ofgem, the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero, or any installer manufacturer. Our role is to translate scheme rules into plain English and connect eligible homeowners with MCS-certified installers who can apply for the voucher on their behalf.

Reviewed by an MCS-qualified heat engineer
MCS-certified installer with first-hand experience of the BUS voucher application process
Every page on BUSGrant that contains technical claims (sizing, costs, grant eligibility, running-cost figures) is reviewed by an MCS-qualified domestic heat-pump installer before publication. The byline at the top of long articles records the most recent review date.
What we are not
- We are not an installer. We do not perform surveys or installations. The MCS-certified installers in our network are independently owned businesses.
- We are not a government body. The £7,500 BUS grant is administered by Ofgem. We provide independent guidance on it but are not part of Ofgem or the UK government.
- We do not accept payment to bias content. Manufacturers and installers cannot pay us to be ranked or recommended above competitors. See How we make money.
