Households across Wiltshire can now benefit from a major new government grant that makes it more affordable than ever to install air conditioning and stay warm in winter and cool in summer.
The government has expanded its successful Boiler Upgrade Scheme to include air-to-air heat pumps—technology that heats your home in colder months and provides cooling during hot summers. This is the first time air-conditioning systems have qualified for government funding.
What’s New?
✔ £2,500 grant toward installing an air-to-air heat pump (air conditioning)
✔ Available to all households
✔ Perfect for smaller homes, flats, and properties without central heating
✔ Year-round comfort—heating and cooling in one system
✔ Part of the £13.2 billion Warm Homes Plan
✔ Includes an additional £2,500 discount for heat batteries
What Is an Air-to-Air Heat Pump?
An air-to-air heat pump works similarly to air conditioning but with an added benefit: it provides efficient clean heating in winter and cooling in summer.
It’s a flexible, low-carbon option ideal for many Wiltshire homes, especially where traditional heat pumps or boilers aren’t practical.
How Much Could You Save?
A typical installation in a flat or small house costs around £4,500, meaning the £2,500 grant covers most of the cost.
Heat batteries now also qualify for a £2,500 grant, helping families store cheap, off-peak electricity for use during the day.
Why the Scheme Has Expanded
Record numbers of households applied for heat pump grants in 2025. To meet demand and give families more choice, the government has widened the scheme so more homes can reduce bills, improve comfort, and cut carbon emissions.
What This Means for Wiltshire Residents
If you’re considering installing air conditioning, upgrading your heating, or simply reducing your bills, this new grant makes it an ideal time. Benefits include:
- Year-round comfort
- Lower running costs
