UK Bank Cashback Offers for Heat Pumps

Combining with Government Support

Boiler Upgrade Scheme (England & Wales)

The cornerstone of heat pump affordability is the government's £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. This applies directly to your installation cost through MCS-certified installers like Integrity Plumbing & Heating.

Requirements for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme:

• Property in England or Wales (covering all of North Devon)
• Valid EPC certificate (we can arrange this)
• Replacing fossil fuel heating (gas, oil, electric)
• Installation by MCS-certified company
• Property must be your home (not new build)

Home Energy Scotland (Scottish Residents)

Scottish homeowners have access to even more support through Home Energy Scotland:

• Up to £7,500 in grant funding
• Optional interest-free loan up to £7,500
• Extra £1,500 uplift for rural or island properties
• Combined support up to £16,000

This makes Scotland one of the most generous regions for heat pump support in the UK.

Maximising Your Savings: A North Devon Homeowner's Strategy

Here's how to secure maximum savings on your heat pump installation:

Step 1: Check Your Mortgage Provider

Review if your bank offers cashback. Barclays and Halifax offer the highest at £2,000, whilst others provide valuable alternatives like free installation or 0% borrowing.

Step 2: Ensure MCS Installation

Choose an MCS-certified installer like Integrity Plumbing & Heating. This is essential for accessing both government grants and most bank offers.

Step 3: Time Your Application

Some offers have specific windows (like Lloyds' October-November period). Plan your installation timeline accordingly.

Step 4: Combine Offers

Stack your bank cashback with the £7,500 government grant. We'll handle the grant application whilst you claim bank cashback.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get cashback if I'm not remortgaging?

Some banks like Barclays offer cashback to existing mortgage customers. Others require new mortgages, additional borrowing, or product switches. Check your bank's specific terms.

What if my installer isn't on my bank's approved list?

Most banks accept any MCS-certified installer. Only Santander requires specific partners. As MCS-certified installers, Integrity qualifies for most schemes.

How long does cashback take to receive?

Typically 6-8 weeks after installation completion and claim submission. Government grants are deducted immediately from your quote.

Can I get support if I'm not on mains gas?

Yes! Properties using oil, LPG, or electric heating often receive priority. Many rural North Devon homes qualify for maximum support.

What about new build properties?

New builds aren't eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme but may qualify for bank cashback if you have an eligible mortgage.
