New figures released today show applications to the government's heat pump grant rose by 75% in February compared to the same month in 2023.
Ian Rippin, CEO at MCS, says: “The latest government figures show that applications to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme are up 75% on February 2023. This highlights that more people are looking to low carbon heating sources for their home.
"MCS data backs this – we’ve just seen the highest performing February for heat pumps in scheme history with 4,280 installations.
"The Boiler Upgrade Scheme remains a vital part of making home-grown energy more affordable and accessible and today’s figures highlights that people are continuing to take advantage of government grants to make that switch to greener and cleaner energy.”
