Solar panels installed on a barn roof

Renewable energy in the UK continued to grow through 2024, and for homeowners that means more support than ever to move away from fossil-fuel heating.

The headline scheme is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which pays up to £9,000 towards an air or ground source heat pump — £7,500 as standard, rising to £9,000 if you are replacing an oil-fired or LPG system. As an MCS-certified installer we apply for it on your behalf and take it straight off your quote, so you never have to front the money and claim it back.

Beyond heat pumps, solar PV paired with battery storage lets you generate and store your own electricity, and the Smart Export Guarantee pays you for what you send back to the grid. Combined with a heat pump, solar can offset a significant share of your running costs with free energy from the sun.

The numbers depend on your home, so we put projected running costs and carbon savings in the written design rather than quoting an average. Get an instant estimate to see what your home could save.
