In Norfolk's rural areas, many homes rely on heating oil to keep warm. With high off-gas-grid prevalence, installing a heat pump makes sense for both cost and practicality. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a generous £9,000 grant specifically for off-gas-grid homes from 21 July 2026 until 31 March 2027. This means eligible Norfolk homeowners can significantly reduce the net cost of switching to an air source heat pump.
An installer will check your home's suitability and assess any additional costs like meter upgrades or system extensions.

The £9,000 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant plus 0% VAT is one reason to switch to a heat pump in Norfolk. There's no income test or EPC requirements, so more homes qualify than previously. For heating oil users like many in this area, the temporary uplift means a £3,500 net cost after grant for a typical semi-detached home. With a 5.5 year payback on that £3,500 cost at current heat pump tariff rates, it's a fair financial decision as well as an environmentally friendly one.
