The Boiler Upgrade Scheme officially launched on 23rd May, and since then we’ve been busy making applications on our customer’s behalf for their heat pump installations. Throughout June we started to receive pay-outs from Ofgem under the scheme, which provides either £5,000 or £6,000 towards the cost of installing an air source or ground source heat pump.
What Is The Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a new Government scheme to encourage homeowners and business owners to replace their fossil fuel boilers and install low carbon heating systems, like air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps.
“Air Source Heat Pump Grant - £5,000
Ground Source Heat Pump Grant - £6,000”

Let Alto Energy Take Care Of The Grant Process
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is an installer-led scheme; this means that only those contractors registered with Ofgem under the scheme are able to apply for and redeem grant vouchers. The application process for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme is administratively very heavy, which alongside all of the administration associated with MCS accreditation, can put quite a large burden on the installer.
By working with Alto Energy, we can take all of this hassle away. Our dedicated compliance team will handle the grant application and redemption on behalf of the customer.
Here is the process for obtaining your heat pump grant.
Get in touch with our expert sales team, and we’ll produce an initial specification and quotation for your heat pump installation.
Once you’re happy that you want to proceed with a heat pump, you pay us to complete the full MCS designs for your property. If it’s a new build or major renovation project we can do this from plans, otherwise we will need to carry out a site survey to gather detailed information about your project.
After the designs are completed, we will issue a final quotation.
Once you accept the quotation, we will apply to Ofgem for your Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant once we have all the information we need.
The contract can then proceed. The payments you make to us can be the quote amount less the grant amount
Once the project is finished, we will redeem the voucher and we are paid the grant directly by Ofgem
