Boiler Upgrade Scheme Increased to £9,000 for Oil and LPG Homes
The UK Government has announced a major increase to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), raising grants to £9,000 for households using heating oil and LPG.
This targeted support is designed to help those most affected by rising global energy prices, particularly in rural and off-grid areas across England and Wales.
Why the BUS Grant Has Increased
Recent global events, including instability in the Middle East, have significantly impacted the cost of fossil fuels. Households relying on heating oil and LPG have seen some of the sharpest increases in energy costs.
To address this, the government has increased the BUS grant to £9,000, helping eligible households transition to more stable, electric-based heating systems.

What the £9,000 Grant Means
The increased funding provides greater financial support for switching from oil or LPG heating to low-carbon alternatives, such as heat pumps.
This aims to reduce reliance on expensive fossil fuels, provide more predictable energy bills, support households most exposed to price volatility, and accelerate the move to cleaner home heating.
Who This Applies To
The £9,000 grant specifically targets homes currently heated by oil or LPG, particularly those in rural or off-gas areas, as well as eligible households and small businesses in England and Wales.
A Targeted Step to Tackle Rising Energy Costs
By increasing the grant for oil and LPG households, the government is taking direct action to reduce the financial pressure caused by global energy markets.
It also supports longer-term energy stability by encouraging a move away from fossil fuels and towards more efficient, low-carbon heating systems.
