Air con installers

Almost nobody knows
air-con is grant-funded.

Air-to-air heat pumps attract £2,500 under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme in England and Wales, and almost no homeowner knows it. Putting that on your website is the cheapest advantage an air conditioning installer can get.

What actually costs you jobs

The three that come up every time.

Brutally seasonal

Slammed in July, silent in January. The winter problem is a demand problem, and grant-funded heating is the answer to it.

Nobody knows the grant exists

Homeowners think air conditioning is a luxury purchase. They do not know there is public money attached to it.

Confused with heat pumps

The £7,500 figure is everywhere. Air-to-air is £2,500, and quoting the wrong one creates a disappointed customer.

Air-to-air heat pump grant

Headline amount
£2,500
Covers
England and Wales

Air-to-air sits under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, so it is the same application route — but a different amount and different rules. Your checker only ever shows the air-to-air figure, because showing a homeowner £7,500 you cannot deliver only creates a complaint.

Checked 30 August 2026 against gov.uk . Indicative — confirmed at official application.

FAQ

Air con installers ask

Is there a grant for air conditioning in the UK?
Yes, for air-to-air heat pumps. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump for eligible properties in England and Wales. Checked 30 August 2026.
How do air-con installers fill a dead winter?
By selling the same box as heating rather than cooling, and by leading with the grant. A modern air-to-air unit heats efficiently, it is grant-funded, and virtually none of your competitors are saying so on their websites in November.
Will the checker show the £7,500 figure by mistake?
No. An air-con installer’s checker is hard-bound to the air-to-air scheme. It cannot display the conventional heat pump amount, because that would set an expectation of three times the money.
