AI Summary
The UK government kept the boiler upgrade scheme (BUS) in the latest Budget, despite speculation that the heat‑pump subsidy would be cancelled. The total budget for the program was cut by about £700 million. BUS grants of up to £9,000 are available to UK consumers to help replace gas‑fired heating systems. The move aims to speed the electrification of home heating in a country where more than two‑thirds of households still use natural gas.
