If you’re planning to install a heat pump in Yorkshire in 2026, here’s some good news — you don’t have to cover the full cost yourself.

Through a mix of UK government heat pump grants, cashback incentives from major mortgage lenders, and expert guidance from Busy Energy, you could save thousands of pounds on your installation.

We specialise in helping Yorkshire homeowners access every available grant and funding scheme so switching to renewable heating is smooth, smart and affordable.

🔍 Government Grants for Heat Pumps in Yorkshire

The UK government has committed £12 billion to Help to Heat schemes aimed at making homes across the country warmer, more energy efficient and cheaper to run.

These grants can significantly reduce the upfront cost of installing a heat pump in Yorkshire. Current and upcoming programmes include:

• Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) – capital grant for air source and ground source heat pump installations

• Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) Phase 2

• Sustainable Warmth Competition

• Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund

• Energy Company Obligation (ECO)

• Great British Insulation Scheme

Each grant has its own eligibility criteria, and not all are available in every location — which is why working with a local Yorkshire heat pump installer like Busy Energy helps make the process easier.

💷 Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) – The Key Grant for Heat Pumps

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is the most popular funding route for heat pumps in Yorkshire.

Here’s what it offers:

• £7,500 off the cost of installing an air source or ground source heat pump

• Paid directly to your installer, reducing your upfront cost

• Property must meet minimum insulation and system standards to qualify

• A typical heat pump installation costs around £12,500 (no VAT), so most homeowners pay around £5,500 after the BUS grant

With this grant alone, many Yorkshire households make the switch to renewable heating for far less than they expected.
