Heating your bungalow with oil or LPG? The Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £9,000 towards an air source heat pump for homes off mains gas, in England and Wales.
With the grant, a heat pump for your bungalow starts at £399, supplied and fitted.
*From £399 after the £9,000 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, supplied and fitted, for bungalows off mains gas replacing oil or LPG heating (England and Wales, until 31 March 2027). Electric and mains gas homes get £7,500, so their price is different. Eligibility and exact price are confirmed at your free survey.
Bungalows off mains gas that swap an oil or LPG boiler for a heat pump get the £9,000 grant until 31 March 2027, which is what brings our price down to from £399. Funding is budget-capped and allocated first come, first served, so it pays to apply early. On mains gas or electric heating? You get the £7,500 grant and a fixed price online. The four eligibility checks confirm the rest.
Usually, yes. A bungalow has every radiator on one floor and short pipe runs, so the heating is simple to design and fit. There is normally space outside for the unit along a side wall or by the drive, and the loft is easy to reach if the insulation needs topping up.
If you heat with oil or LPG, a heat pump also means no more fuel deliveries to order, store and pay for in one go. It runs on electricity and gives you heating and hot water all year. We size it with a room-by-room heat-loss calculation, and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant comes off what you pay. See all the air source heat pumps we install.
Supply, design, MCS install, the Ofgem grant application, warranty registration, and aftercare. One price covers the lot.
An air source heat pump sized to your bungalow's heat loss, replacing your oil or LPG boiler, with a hot water cylinder where your home needs one.
A room-by-room heat-loss calculation to MCS standards, so the unit and radiators are matched to your home before we order kit.
Fitted and commissioned by our certified engineers, with an MCS certificate and a full handover pack on the day.
We submit the Ofgem Boiler Upgrade Scheme paperwork, then take the grant off our price up front, so there is no rebate to wait for.
Your heat pump comes with a 2 to 7 year manufacturer's warranty, depending on the brand. We register it at handover.
A dedicated aftercare team after install if you need help with the controls, the app, or booking a service visit.
Four checks. If your bungalow ticks them, the £9,000 grant is on the table.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales and is claimed by the property owner. In Scotland, the route is Home Energy Scotland.
Swapping an oil or LPG boiler in a home with no mains gas qualifies for the £9,000 grant until 31 March 2027. Other heating qualifies at £7,500.
Since 28 April 2026 you don't need an Energy Performance Certificate to claim the grant. We gather the evidence Ofgem asks for and submit it.
The outdoor unit needs a spot against an outside wall with clear airflow, plus room indoors for a hot water cylinder. We check both at your free survey.
Three steps. You sign one form, we do the rest.
Tell us about your bungalow and current heating to see if you qualify for the £9,000 grant. There is no payment and no obligation; our team then calls you.
An engineer surveys your bungalow, designs the system, and confirms your grant and exact price. We submit the Boiler Upgrade Scheme application to Ofgem.
We fit and commission the system and register the warranty. Most installs finish in 2 to 4 days, and the grant comes off our price, so there is nothing to claim back.
The from £399 offer is for oil and LPG swaps. Every other eligible bungalow gets the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, with heat pumps from £4,000 after the grant. Answer a few questions and see your own fixed price online.
Straight answers on suitability, price and the grant.
Yes, in most cases. A bungalow has all its radiators on one floor, short pipe runs and usually some outdoor space for the unit, which makes the installation simpler than in many two-storey homes. Our survey includes a room-by-room heat-loss calculation, so the heat pump and radiators are sized to your home before anything is ordered. Our guide to whether your home suits a heat pump covers the checks in detail.
Bungalows that are off mains gas and replace oil or LPG heating. Those homes qualify for the £9,000 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in England and Wales until 31 March 2027, and after the grant our price starts at £399, supplied and fitted. It is a "from" price: we confirm your eligibility and exact price at your free survey.
Prices start from £399, supplied and fitted. What you pay depends mainly on the heating you are replacing, because the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant varies: £9,000 when a bungalow off mains gas replaces oil or LPG, and £7,500 for mains gas or electric heating. The size of system your bungalow needs also plays a part, and that comes from its heat loss more than the number of bedrooms. We confirm your exact price at your free survey.
Yes, with the proper setup. Oil and LPG homes usually see the biggest running-cost win from a heat pump, and there are no fuel deliveries to pay for up front. The setup matters: a heat pump sized to your bungalow's heat loss, radiators matched to it, sensible insulation and a heat pump electricity tariff. We design all of that at your survey. Our guide to heat pump running costs shows the sums, and our article on the £9,000 grant for oil and LPG homes explains the funding.
Yes. Those homes qualify for the £7,500 grant instead, so the price is different. You can get a fixed price online in a few minutes with our air source heat pump quote.
Sometimes. Heat pumps run at lower temperatures than an oil or LPG boiler, so some rooms may need a larger radiator. The heat-loss calculation at your survey shows which, if any, need changing, and that is built into your price. See our guide to heat pump radiators.
The outdoor unit sits on a small base against an outside wall, often at the side or back of the bungalow, with clear space in front for airflow. Inside, you need room for a hot water cylinder if you do not already have one. We agree both positions with you at the survey.
No. Since 28 April 2026 the Boiler Upgrade Scheme no longer requires an Energy Performance Certificate. Read more on our Boiler Upgrade Scheme page.
