✔ Households can get a £5,000 heat pump grant from April 2022
✔ The average home will be able to save £4,378 over 20 years
Homeowners will be able to get a £5,000 discount off the cost of a new heat pump from April 2022, thanks to the government's new Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
However, because the scheme is receiving a relatively paltry £450m, only 90,000 homes will be able to take advantage of the grant over the next three years.
That's despite the Climate Change Committee (CCC) saying the UK needs to install 3.3 million heat pumps in existing homes by 2030 to reach net-zero.
