Why Now Is the Time to Act on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (Before the Budget Changes It)
If you’re one of the many customers who already have a solar PV system and battery installed, you’re in an excellent position to take the next step towards a fully low-carbon home. And right now, there is a time-sensitive opportunity you should be aware of.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)—the UK Government’s flagship incentive for low-carbon heating—has recently expanded. It now includes:
- Air source heat pumps (ASHP)
- Ground source heat pumps
- Air-to-air heating units / air conditioning systems
This expansion has opened the door for thousands of homeowners to move away from fossil-fuel heating and take advantage of government support.
But with the upcoming UK Budget approaching, the scheme is expected to change.
What’s Changing?
Although nothing is confirmed until the Budget is formally announced, the clear indication is that funding will be redirected more heavily towards lower-income households.
In practical terms, this means:
- The current level of support may not remain available to everyone.
- The scheme may become more targeted, with fewer universal vouchers.
- The financial value of BUS support could be reduced or restructured.
For many homeowners, this is a clear signal:
If you’re considering a heating upgrade, act now while the scheme is still accessible.
Why Solar Shed Customers Are in a Strong Position
If you already have solar and battery storage, adding a low-carbon heating system is the logical next step. It allows you to:

- Reduce your reliance on fossil fuels
- Cut energy bills even further
- Future-proof your home
Heating is the biggest slice of a home’s energy consumption. Upgrading it to a cleaner, electric-based system makes your solar investment work harder—and saves more money in the long run.
