Following the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero’s announcement that eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) will be expanded to include electric heating solutions, ECA is asking Members for feedback on the future role of alternative clean heating solutions.
From 2026 the BUS will provide grants worth £2,500 to support the installation of air-to-air heat pumps. It is also intended to provide £2,500 grants to support the installation of heat batteries, once appropriate product, design and installation standards have been implemented.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is now calling for evidence on the role of alternative clean heating solutions.
It wants to understand what alternative technologies are available across different types of domestic and non-domestic buildings to ensure consumers have a choice of suitable low-carbon heating technology options and understand integration with other systems. This will be of particular interest to those interested in technologies like infrared heating and storage heaters..
