The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a government initiative that was launched in April 2022 and is designed to promote the use of clean energy and help the UK achieve its net zero emissions targets by 2050.
The scheme will allow homeowners to claim a contribution of £7,500 toward the purchase of new air source or ground source heat pump systems on your property.
To qualify for this government backed grant the system installed must meet certain standards, such as minimum efficiency levels and a maximum capacity of 45kWth, and that’s where we can easily confirm what you will need for your property and see if you qualify for the funding.
We are an approved MCS installer which is a requirement to qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
What are the benefits of having a Heat Pump?
Energy Efficiency. Reduce your energy consumption with an expertly designed system that can provide greater units of heat from the electricity used compared to traditional gas systems.
Reduced Energy Bills. An increase in heating system efficiency results in a reduction in what you pay in energy bills and our customers can see up to a 70% saving in costs.
Low Maintenance. A properly specified and designed system requires a minimal maintenance plan, and the reliability is second to none which provides for hassle free ownership over the long term.
Environmentally Friendly. A heat pump dramatically reduces your carbon footprint which plays a significant contribution in to making the UK net zero by 2050.
I would highly recommend Liam from Custom Renewables for your ASHP system. Liam surveyed, designed, planned and installed our system. He explained and documented everything about it, the expected performance, answered all my questions and offered advice about the best configuration for us.

Custom Renewables have been so helpful in improving our central heating system. After speaking to many heating installers and still not feeling confident about how to proceed, Liam was informative and took time to answer my questions. He carried out a very helpful heat loss report on our property and discussed all the relevant options for improvement. He advised and carried out the work on upgrading our radiators to get heat pump ready and has advised about how to run our boiler most efficiently until we complete the upgrade. All work was carried out with minimal disruption. Would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you.

Liam and the team did a great job replacing our old gas boiler with a Vaillant Arotherm plus ASHP. Really smooth process from the heat loss assessment to the commissioning of the new system. Thoroughly recommended.
Kath Moyse
Liam and the team did a great install. Clear communication, turned up when agreed and were very neat and tidy. I'm very happy with the heat pump installed.
Ben Hornby
Excellent company that really understands about heat pumps. Very tidy installation, even under the floorboards where others might not be so careful.
Keith Griffiths
The standard of the work and attention to detail was absolutely first class.
Nick Richmond
Always good to get the system retuned with some cleaning thrown in. Service with a smile and friendly knowledgable chat about ashp's
