The new policies would aim to make it easier and more affordable for people to upgrade their heating and hot-water systems to a greener alternative.
Grants could be widened to cover a type of pump called an air-to-air heat pump, and to heat batteries, which store spare heat or electricity.
Heat pumps are rising in popularity, with a record 4,028 applications for grants under the boiler upgrade scheme received in March – up 88 per cent on the same month last year, according to Government figures.
Ministers were also setting out plans to train up to 18,000 more home retrofitters to install heat pumps, insulation, solar panels and heat networks.
Charlotte Lee, chief executive of the Heat Pump Association, welcomed the announcement and said the funding to support installation training would help to “make clean heating solutions an accessible option for more consumers”.
Miatta Fahnbulleh, minister for energy consumers, said: “Following a record-breaking month for applications to our Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we are now proposing to give working families more choice and flexibility to pick the low-carbon upgrades that work best for them.”
