The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) has replaced the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), which closed new applicants on 31 March 2022.
The Renewable Heat Incentive offered tariff payments for 7 years to reward people who use renewable energy to heat their homes, whereas the BUS offers an upfront payment.
The BUS provides applicants with upfront sums of up to £7,500 for ground source heat pumps and £7,500 for air source heat pumps in place of the £7,000 paid over seven years in quarterly installments that the RHI provided.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme will act as a kick start for the air source heat pump market, as well as a financial incentive towards the goal of having renewable heating systems which will eventually lead to achieving the Net Zero target.

Biomass boilers will only be supported in rural areas and where they replace existing fossil fuel systems, where that system is not fuelled by mains gas, or direct electric systems.
The new scheme covers fewer technologies than its predecessor, the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), which also provided payments for the installation of solar thermal systems.
