You can get a grant for a biomass boiler if all the following are true:
your property is off the gas grid
your property is in a rural location (check the Ofgem guidance for property owners if you’re not sure)
your boiler has an emissions certificate showing that polluting emissions are kept to a minimum
You cannot get a grant to install a biomass boiler in a self build property.
You cannot get a grant for:
most new build properties
social housing
a property that’s already been given government funding or support for a heat pump or biomass boiler
New build properties which the developer is still building are not eligible.
If you move into a finished new build with a fossil fuel boiler, you may be able to get a grant for a heat pump under the scheme.
Your self build property is eligible if:
you or the original owner built it yourself or you paid a builder to build it
it’s never been owned by a business or organisation
You’ll need to show your installer proof that your property is a self build, for example, a copy of the title deeds.
