The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a government-proposed scheme to deliver grants of up to £7,500 towards heat pump installations in UK households. The scheme, which was known as the Clean Heat Grant, is intended to replace the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) from April 2022 to 2028.
The ECO supports retrofit efficiency works in the domestic sector with an upfront grant, with a particular focus on vulnerable consumer groups & hard-to-treat homes.
The Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme is a fund dedicated to heat decarbonisation & capital energy efficiency projects in non-domestic public sector buildings across England.
Through this scheme, an investor funds the network – known as Shared Ground Loop Arrays – to cover the most expensive aspect of the project. In return, the investor can charge connection fees if they wish.
The Government is committed to making the UK one of the largest markets in the world for heat pumps. Enormous opportunity exists for installers to become part of a sector set for rapid and massive growth.

How do I become a ground source heat pump installer?
Support for Plumbing and Heating Engineers
Our free Ground Level Training course is ideal for plumbing and heating engineers wanting to learn to install ground source heat pumps and develop their careers in the renewable heating industry.
If you are traditionally a gas heating installer, transitioning to fitting ground source heat pumps is straightforward and reduces risks, cost, and time. Unlike a gas boiler system, a ground source heat pump has no flue or ventilation requirements, no condense pipe to fit, no more landlord gas safety checks, and simpler and cleaner servicing.
“I booked a free 1-2-1 training session with Kensa’s Training Manager. It was really useful, as I was able to be specific about exactly what I wanted to learn, and the day was tailored to match my skill set. There’s nothing worse than being sat on a training course where half of it isn’t relevant to you
Matt Owen, Home Heating & Plumbing

For a fee, Kensa will manage the elements of projects that you may be less familiar with, such as sizing, specification, groundworks and commissioning, to ensure your projects are fully compliant. Many installers use our Umbrella Scheme as a stepping stone to becoming MCS accredited for ground source heat pumps.
"I used Kensa's MCS Umbrella service a number of times, which I found a helpful stepping stone on my way to become MCS accredited for ground source, which I did because of the increasing volume of installations I was involved with.”
