Let's be honest about electric heating.

Whether it's storage heaters that spend their charge before you need it, panel heaters that cost a fortune to run, or a patchwork of both, electric heating in a flat tends to mean one thing: you're paying more than you should, for less warmth than you want.

You can't always control when the heat comes. You layer up, you rely on a portable heater, or you just accept that this is how it is. And every month, the electricity bill confirms what you already suspected.

You're not imagining it. Electric heating is one of the least efficient ways to heat a home, and millions of flats across the UK still rely on it. Not because it's good, but because the alternatives have always seemed out of reach.

Until now...

There's a better way to heat your home, and a government scheme that pays for it.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a government programme that provides a £7,500 grant to help homeowners upgrade to modern, efficient heating. If your flat qualifies, the entire installation is covered. Nothing to pay upfront, and nothing to pay afterwards.

The system being installed is a heat pump; a central heating upgrade that produces significantly more warmth per unit of electricity than storage heaters or panel heaters. Most people who make the switch find their heating bills come down, and their home becomes easier and more comfortable to heat.

You might have heard of heat pumps. You might also have assumed they weren't for you.

When you think of heat pumps, you probably think of bulky, outdoor units which need a lot of space to work in. Hardly ideal for a flat or apartment. 

These systems are different. Specifically designed for flats, our heat pumps are installed entirely inside your home, and have vents which allow the pump to connect to the outside, just like a traditional boiler. Nothing to install on the outside of the building, no permissions needed, and no external works at all. 

What you get is a proper central heating system. Thermostat controlled, consistent warmth throughout your home, and significantly more efficient than the electric heating it replaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free?

 Yes, if your property qualifies. The installation is funded through the government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which provides a £7,500 grant that covers the full cost. There's no payment required from you. 

 


 

What's the catch? Why would the government pay for this?

 There isn't one. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a genuine government scheme designed to help households move away from inefficient heating. You can check the scheme directly on gov.uk before going any further. 

What exactly is being installed? Is it a heat pump?

 Yes. It's a heat pump, a more efficient alternative to electric storage or panel heating. The unit installed under this scheme fits entirely inside your home, so there's no outdoor box to find space for. 

 

Will it heat my flat properly, even in winter?

 Yes. Heat pumps are designed to provide consistent central heating throughout the year, including the coldest months. 

Will my electricity bill go up?

Most households see their heating costs fall rather than rise, because a heat pump produces more heat per unit of electricity than storage or panel heaters. Actual savings depend on your current heating type and usage. 

 

Where does the unit go if there's no outdoor box?

 The system installs inside the property and connects to the outside air through a small duct in an external wall, rather than needing an external condenser unit.

How long does installation take, and how disruptive is it?

 Most installations are completed in a single day. 

Is my flat likely to qualify?

 We can only confirm this after a free assessment. It tends to suit smaller, well-insulated flats on lower floors. Registering your interest doesn't commit you to anything.
