Boiler Upgrade Scheme: February 2026

DESNZ·data_release·low·9 Mar 2026·source document

Summary

DESNZ published February 2026 statistics on Boiler Upgrade Scheme installations, monitoring uptake of air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps and biomass boilers. The scheme provides grants for low carbon heating technologies to replace gas boilers in domestic properties.

Why it matters

Redistributive scheme that treats symptoms of expensive energy rather than addressing supply constraints or market structure. Heat pump adoption remains constrained by electricity-gas price ratios that reflect carbon pricing asymmetries.

Key facts

  • February 2026 monitoring data
  • Covers air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, biomass boilers
