Can homes in Riverhead claim the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Yes — homeowners in Riverhead replacing a gas, oil or LPG boiler can claim £7,500 off an air source heat pump. You need a valid EPC with no outstanding loft or cavity insulation recommendations; we handle the MCS paperwork and deduct the grant upfront. Many Riverhead homes are larger detached or semi-detached properties with high heating bills, and some are off the gas grid on oil or LPG — these often see the biggest savings switching to a heat pump.

Call 07494 069336. We are based in Bexleyheath, 33 minutes from Bexleyheath, so we aim to survey no-heat emergencies in Riverhead within 24-48 hours and can fit a replacement A-rated boiler or quote a heat pump at the same visit.
How does the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant work?
As your MCS-certified installer we apply for the grant on your behalf and deduct the full £7,500 from your quote upfront — you never pay it and claim it back. You need to own the home and have a valid EPC with no outstanding loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations.
Do heat pumps work in freezing UK winters?
Yes. Modern air source heat pumps keep heating efficiently down to -10°C and below, still delivering around 2-3 units of heat for every unit of electricity on the coldest days. We size every system to your home's heat loss at local design temperatures.
Will a heat pump cost more to run than my gas boiler?
In most well-designed installations, running costs are similar to or lower than gas — especially on a heat pump tariff or paired with solar and a battery. You also drop the gas standing charge if you go fully electric.
