Boiler Upgrade Scheme in Leicestershire

Professional air source heat pump design, mechanical integration, and administrative grant support for homeowners claiming the government’s £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) across Leicestershire. At Newton Electrical and Mechanical, we help homeowners transition from fossil-fuel heating to modern, energy-efficient air source heat pumps. Under the UK government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme, eligible domestic properties can receive a £7,500 upfront grant towards the cost of replacing fossil-fuel boilers with low-carbon heat pumps. Our experienced multi-discipline team guides you through the entire process, performing room-by-room heat-loss calculations, selecting high-efficiency Daikin heat pump hardware, and managing project paperwork alongside approved grant partners.

Turnkey Low-Carbon Heating Transitions

We manage your heat pump installation as a complete turnkey project, delivering structural, hydraulic, and electrical excellence:
  1. Comprehensive Heat-Loss Assessment: Calculating exact room-by-room thermal demands to size your air source heat pump, hot water cylinder, and radiator emitters accurately.
  2. £7,500 Grant Application Guidance: Assisting domestic clients through eligibility checks, EPC validation, and grant administration to ensure you access maximum available government funding.
  3. Complete System Removal and Installation: Safely decommissioning old gas, oil, or LPG boilers, modifying internal hydraulic pipework, and fitting your new air source heat pump.
  4. Multi-Zone Electrical Controls Integration: Wiring digital programmers, outdoor temperature sensors, and smart thermostats to ensure optimal seasonal coefficient of performance (COP).

Why Leicestershire Homeowners Partner with Newton

Upgrading to low-carbon heating requires a seamless crossover between hydraulic plumbing (hot water storage, radiator sizing, and loop pressure) and electrical engineering (control wiring and sub-board loading). At Newton Electrical and Mechanical (NEM Services), we provide a seamless experience by offering multi-discipline expertise under one roof:
  • A Single, Trusted Contractor: Because our local team spans electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical disciplines, you do not need to coordinate multiple contractors. We manage the entire cylinder plumbing, outdoor unit positioning, radiator upgrades, and electrical control wiring from start to finish.
  • Daikin D1 Approved Partners: As an accredited Daikin D1 Approved partner, our engineers are factory-trained by one of the world’s leading heat pump manufacturers, allowing us to deliver high-performance installations with extended manufacturer warranty protection.
  • Clear Pricing with No Hidden Fees: We believe in complete transparency. Following our detailed site survey, we provide a clear, itemised quotation detailing equipment costs, grant deductions, and labor before work begins.

Frequently asked questions

What is the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant?

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a UK government financial incentive that provides a £7,500 upfront grant to help property owners replace fossil-fuel heating systems (gas, oil, LPG, or electric storage) with clean air source heat pumps.

Who is eligible for the £7,500 grant in Leicestershire?

Homeowners and small business owners in England and Wales are eligible. Your property must have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) with no outstanding recommendations for cavity wall or loft insulation (or these must be completed before installation).

Do I have to apply for the grant myself?

No. The grant application is submitted by the installer or designated grant coordinator. We guide you through the eligibility checks, collect required property documentation, and ensure the £7,500 voucher is applied directly to lower your upfront installation cost.

Are air source heat pumps suitable for off-grid properties?

Yes. Air source heat pumps are ideal for off-grid properties currently relying on expensive oil, LPG, or electric heating. They harvest heat directly from the outside air, eliminating the need for fuel deliveries or external fuel storage tanks.

How does Newton manage the physical installation?

Our in-house mechanical division handles the complete rip-out of your old boiler, cylinder placement, and radiator/underfloor heating integration, while our NICEIC approved electrical division manages all dedicated power feeds, control wiring, and sensor setups internally.

Do heat pumps require annual servicing?

Yes. Annual servicing preserves system efficiency, ensures safe operation, and maintains manufacturer warranty coverage. Our servicing plans include checking refrigerant pressure, cleaning heat exchangers, auditing electrical connections, and testing pump flow rates.

Sam responded promptly to my air con enquiry and even visited me at short notice to firm up the scope. We were fitted in quickly, and Dave managed the job well, with the team carrying out a nice tidy install. Would definitely use again in the future and I will certainly recommend to others.

After struggling with underfloor heating that had been left in a broken state by a previous company, my dad endured almost no heating throughout the winter. It was a frustrating and uncomfortable situation until Sam from Newton Electrical and Mechanical came to the rescue. Sam was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He quickly identified the issues, including faulty wiring and broken pumps, and thoroughly cleaned the entire system. Within just two weeks, the system was completely fixed and working perfectly. The level of care, expertise, and efficiency from Newton Electrical and Mechanical was outstanding. I can’t thank them enough for the difference they made. I’d highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and skilled professionals for their heating or electrical needs.

We used Newton Electrical and Mechanical for all of our electrical and plumbing work in a large home renovation project and I would thoroughly recommend them. Sam Dave and colleagues have all been knowledgable, reliable, trustworthy and communicative and take pride in completing work to a high standard, a pleasure to work with. As with any large project dealing with multiple trades, some things didn’t quite go to plan, but I found that any issues that Newton Electrical could help with were resolved quickly and without fuss. It’s very hard to find tradespeople you can trust, but if you’re reading this, congrats- you’ve just found some.
