Heat pump grant in Exmouth: £9,000 for oil and LPG homes
Exmouth is largely gas-connected, so many households here qualify for the standard £7,500 grant; nearby Woodbury and the commons villages tip into oil territory. From 21 July 2026 the Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £9,000 towards a heat pump for eligible oil and LPG heated homes in the EX8 area, on top of the standard £7,500 for homes on mains gas.

- ✓ It currently heats with an oil or LPG boiler (£9,000) or mains gas (£7,500)
- ✓ It is in England or Wales; the EX8 postcode area qualifies geographically
- ✓ The work is done by an MCS-certified installer, who claims the grant for you
How it works
Answer five questions about your home and heating. We confirm which grant you qualify for, phone you to check the details, then match you with one MCS-certified installer covering Exmouth, never five firms fighting over your number. Your installer claims the voucher on your behalf and it comes straight off the quote. The £9,000 uplift ends 31 March 2027.
Why the grant is bigger for oil and LPG homes
The government's uplift targets the roughly 865,000 homes in England and Wales that are off the mains gas grid, where heating costs are highest and carbon savings from switching are biggest. Much of East Devon fits that description, which is why the higher amount applies to so many homes around Exmouth.
