If you've been thinking about replacing your current heating system with an air source heat pump, there's good news. The UK Government has announced an increase to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), giving eligible homeowners even more financial support towards the cost of installation. From 21 July 2026, qualifying households replacing an oil or LPG heating system can now receive £9,000 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme—an increase of £1,500 from the previous grant of £7,500. This update is intended to make renewable heating more affordable and encourage more households to move away from fossil fuel heating.

When most people think of smart thermostats, they imagine them paired with a gas boiler — turning the heating up from your phone or letting the system learn your daily routine. But what if you’ve switched to a more efficient system, like an air source heat pump (ASHP)? Can the two work together? The short answer is yes — and when they do, you get the perfect mix of comfort, control, and energy savings.
Across the UK, rising energy prices have made many households look for better, long-term solutions to cut costs. At the same time, more people want to live sustainably and prepare their homes for the future. One of the smartest ways to achieve this is by combining air source heat pumps (ASHPs) with solar panels.
