The scheme is directly linked to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) and the Home Energy Scotland Scheme (HESS). MCS-certified contractors who install eligible products under either BUS or HESS will receive the £250 cash incentive.

The eligible products are:

England and Wales

  • Air source heat pumps

Scotland

  • Air source heat pumps
  • Hybrid boilers

Commenting on the offer, Henk van den Berg, Daikin’s Head of Residential Business, said: “The £250 incentive is yet another reason for already accredited heat pump installers to choose Daikin’s award-winning range of air source heat pumps for their customers, and the offer will be particularly attractive to gas installers who want to expand their business into renewables too.

“This will require additional investment and training to future proof their skills, so the £250 bonus per heat pump installation is another great reason to get ready for renewables.”

In a separate incentive scheme Daikin also offers free local heat pump training in a Daikin Sustainable Home Centre and £100 off easy MCS accreditation.

In addition to this, new installers will also benefit from 40% off the first heat pump unit purchased at a local centre and commissioning support for the first three air source heat pump installations they undertake.
