In Shropshire, many homes rely on heating oil to keep warm. With a high prevalence of off-gas-grid properties in this rural county, finding an efficient and cost-effective heating solution is essential for residents. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers eligible homes in England and Wales, including those in Shropshire, a grant of £9,000 when installing an air source heat pump.
Before installation, homeowners should expect their chosen MCS-certified installer to assess the property's suitability, energy requirements, and propose the most suitable system for their specific needs. This process ensures that the heat pump will provide optimal performance and efficiency in Shropshire's climate.
