This exists because a grant site that never shows its edits is a grant site nobody can check. en-GB Tue, 11 Aug 2026 09:00:00 +0000 https://heatpumpswitch.com/uk/changes/ 2026-08-11-cz.programmes Tue, 11 Aug 2026 09:00:00 +0000 Was: Direct NZÚ grant assumed available to all households → Direct grant is NZÚ Light only (low income); standard households get a 0 % loan.

Widely reported as a £9,000 uplift. It is not: the uplift is £1,500 on top of the £7,500 base, giving £9,000 in total for eligible off-gas-grid oil and LPG homes.

The cut is close to neutral for an EU-made heat pump and a real halving for a non-EU one. Reporting that omits the value-creation bonus overstates the loss for most buyers and understates it for some.

Eligible-cost ceiling for the first dwelling unit cut on 21 July 2026. At a 46 % rate that is €920 less grant. The Effizienzbonus and Emissionsminderungszuschlag were removed on the same date.
