Heat pump grant in Kingsbridge: £9,000 for oil and LPG homes
Kingsbridge and the coastal parishes towards Salcombe are largely off the gas grid, with oil the standard for detached and village homes. From 21 July 2026 the Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £9,000 towards a heat pump for eligible oil and LPG heated homes in the TQ7 area, on top of the standard £7,500 for homes on mains gas.

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 Kingsbridge, 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 the South Hams fits that description, which is why the higher amount applies to so many homes around Kingsbridge.
