Your pathway to the BUS with Stiebel Eltron

What you’ll get from the BUS

You’ll be able to get:

£7,500 off the cost and installation of an air or ground source heat pump

You may be eligible if you:

• live in England or Wales
• own your property (whether this is a home or a small non-domestic property)

The property will need to have:

• an installation capacity up to 45kWth (this covers most homes)
• a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) with no outstanding recommendations for loft or cavity wall insulation (unless you have an insulation exemption)

New build properties will not normally be eligible. The only exception is if you’re building your own home.

Your installer will advise whether a low carbon heating system is suitable for your property.

If you’re claiming other grants or funding

You can still apply if you’ve received separate funding for energy efficiency upgrades such as insulation, doors or windows.

If you’re replacing an existing low carbon heating system

Funding will not be available for the replacement of existing low carbon heating systems. Only properties which are fully replacing existing fossil fuel systems (such as oil, gas or direct electric) will be eligible for support.

How the scheme will work

Your installer will apply for the grant on your behalf. The value of the grant will be discounted off the price you pay.

We recommend you get quotes from more than one installer to make sure you’re getting the best value for money.

1. You find an MSC certified installer in your area that is able to carry out the work. (The MCS quality assurance scheme ensures that installers are competent, and the products they use meet the correct standards.)
2. The installer advises you on whether an installation is eligible for a grant.
3. You agree a quote for the installation.
4. The installer applies for the grant.
5. You confirm that the installer is acting on your behalf when you’re contacted by Ofgem.
