A warmer home,
lower bills.

The £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is open to homeowners in England and Wales. You need a current energy certificate (EPC) with no outstanding notes about loft or cavity-wall insulation, and you need to be replacing an existing gas, oil, or LPG boiler. Our free check tells you within five minutes whether your home qualifies.

Most UK homes need a heat pump somewhere between 5 and 12 kilowatts, matched to how much heat the home loses on a cold day (not to your current boiler size). A well-insulated 3-bed semi is typically around 7 to 8 kilowatts; a detached 4-bed nearer 10 to 12. Our pre-survey uses your energy certificate and a few quick questions to give you a specific range.

Not for a first quote. Propertoasty produces an installer-ready pre-survey from your address, energy certificate, and roof imagery — enough for a qualified installer to give you a written quote without a site visit. A visit is still needed before the actual install, so the installer can confirm placement, radiator sizes, and cable runs.

A typical UK heat pump install costs £12,000 to £16,000 before the grant, so £4,500 to £8,500 after the £7,500 is deducted. Bigger homes and installs that need a new hot-water cylinder or bigger radiators run higher. Our check gives you a specific range for your property.

Only if your energy certificate says you're missing loft or cavity-wall insulation — the grant rules require those to be cleared first. Homes rated C or better on the certificate usually pass with no work needed. About 15% of homes we check discover they need insulation first; we flag it before you waste an installer's time.
