In rural Herefordshire, many homes rely on heating oil to keep warm. With high off-gas-grid prevalence, installing a new oil boiler or connecting to the gas grid is not a viable option for most properties. This makes heat pumps an attractive solution, as they can be retrofitted with minimal disruption and without the need for costly connections.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides eligible homes in England and Wales with a £9,000 grant towards the cost of installing an air source heat pump. For off-gas-grid properties like those found in Herefordshire, this uplift is particularly valuable, making the switch to clean, efficient heating more accessible than ever.
