For homes with an oil or LPG heating system the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant has been boosted from £7,500 to £9,000, but for a limited time only.

Following a few months of uncertainty as we waited to see how the new Labour government were going to support small-scale renewables, they have demonstrated their commitment this week to decarbonising heat in the UK. Good news for homeowners and installers alike!

With a General Election looming and with a change of government on the cards we take a look at what the Conservatives' latest green initiative, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, has achieved and what we can expect from Labour.

With the drive to Net Zero, the government has been experimenting with initiatives to encourage uptake of energy saving measures and renewables over the past few years with mixed success, but is the current offer of a £7,500 grant going to be enough?

With the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme closing at the end of March and with its successor, the Green Homes Grant Scheme, having been an abject disaster, there's now a new scheme on the horizon.
