Central Heating Grants

As part of the government's energy efficiency scheme, ECO (Energy Company Obligation) is aimed at helping people to improve the energy efficiency of their home and reduce fuel poverty throughout the UK, whilst helping home to improve their EPC rating of D-G bands to become a C rating, more energy efficient and cheaper to run.

Through the Government’s ECO4 scheme, eligible householders AND tenants across the UK can now access a heating grant for a first-time central heating system.

A Heating Grant is a non-repayable free or subsidised central heating system. This is part of the Government (ECO) Scheme set up to help with home improvements for low-income households. It provides qualifying homeowners with access to improving home efficiency in order to reduce the cost of energy bills, as well as carbon footprints when heating their homes.

The Central Heating Grant is ONLY available for those properties which do not have a central heating system and the property is heated by electric, gas fires or any of the above list. Properties with an existing central heating system are not eligible for this grant.

The amount of the grant is decided by how efficient your home is and is determined by an energy assessment. In some cases, a small contribution may be required.
