Eligibility criteria
To apply for Start with Grant, your company must not already install, commission, or service Air Source Heat Pumps.
You will need to supply a valid EPC for your property to confirm there is an existing fossil fuel or direct electric heating system fitted.
You must also hold current certifications for the following:
- Level 2/3 Plumbing & Heating Qualification or City & Guilds Qualification
- WRAS Qualification and a G3 Unvented Hot Water Qualification (Grant UK’s Training Academy deliver ERS Qualifications – view ERS courses here)
Please note: Grant UK or Heat Pump Go may request copies of certificates. However, for the 'Start with Grant' scheme only, in the event that you do not have these qualifications, Grant UK can certify the installation at your property using our in house MCS approved commissioning engineers.
If you are not already a G1 installer, you will be sent an enrolment form for the G1 scheme following your Grant heat pump training. You will need to complete this to gain access to the 7-year heat pump guarantee for your installation, and any future installations for your customers.
Further information
Terms and Conditions apply (a copy will be made available upon application). It is important to note that installers cannot remove the heat pump or equipment supplied by Grant UK as part of the Start with Grant scheme to sell or re-install in another house. This will be a breach of the Terms and will result in the full BUS grant being recovered from the Installer.
