Grants
The new £2,500 air-to-air heat pump grant
Air conditioning that heats and cools now qualifies for a £2,500 government grant. What air-con installers need to know — and how to sell it.

Insulation grants in 2026: what's funded
A plain-English guide to the insulation grants UK homeowners can get in 2026 — the council-run Warm Homes: Local Grant, plus what's left of ECO4 — and how installers capture those leads.
Why a grant checker wins you jobs
Grant-curious visitors leave your site if it can't answer 'how much do I get?'. Here's why a branded grant checker captures those leads — and pays for itself.
A grant checker for heat pump installers
Homeowners searching “am I eligible for the £7,500 grant” are the warmest enquiry in the trade. Here is how to catch them on your own site instead of buying them back.
The £2,500 grant most air-con installers never mention
Air-to-air heat pumps qualify for £2,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Most homeowners have no idea — which makes it the cheapest advantage in the trade.
Insulation funding, without the guesswork
Warm Homes: Local Grant has no headline figure and depends on the address, the household and the council. A checker answers it in seconds — honestly.
The EV charger grant for homes with no driveway
Households with on-street parking only can now get £500 towards a cross-pavement chargepoint. Most of them still believe the answer is no.
Workplace, landlord and school EV grants in 2026
£500 a socket for workplaces and landlords, £2,000 a socket for state-funded schools and colleges. Every one of them closes 31 March 2027.
Do you still need an EPC for the heat pump grant?
No. The EPC requirement came out of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme on 28 April 2026. Most installer websites, and most homeowners, still think it applies.
£9,000 or £7,500? The off-gas heat pump uplift
The higher Boiler Upgrade Scheme figure needs oil or LPG heating and no mains gas connection. Both, not either. The uplift ends 31 March 2027.
Does a home need insulation before a heat pump?
Since April 2026 insulation is no longer a condition of the £7,500 grant. It is still a sizing question — and an enquiry most insulation firms never see.

How solar installers escape the price war
Shared leads push solar installers into a race to the bottom. Here's how to win enquiries generated for you and compete on value instead of price.
Why a solar savings checker wins you jobs
Every solar enquiry asks 'how much would I actually save?'. If your website can't answer, they leave. Here's why a savings checker captures those leads.
Why most solar calculators overstate the saving
Valuing every unit at the import price, and assuming energy prices climb each year, roughly doubles a lifetime figure. Then the survey has to explain it.
Enquiries
What a lead portal actually does with your enquiry
