Free Heating Grants For Homeowners
Homeowners could be missing out on the opportunity to save hundreds of pounds each year. Through a Government-backed ECO Scheme you could get a Free Heating Grant which would see your old inefficient heating replaced with a new central heating system.
The Scheme provides for homeowners, or anyone permanently resident in your household, to have access grants which can cover the cost of installing a gas central heating system, usually for the first time. If you have no gas boiler installed, or you are operating an electric heating or other type of heating system, then you could be in line for a funding grant.
How do homeowners qualify for a Free Heating Grant?
Free Heating Grants are available to homeowners in England, Wales and Scotland if you have never had gas central heating in your home or you are operating an inefficient alternative heating system. You also need to be currently receiving at least one of a number of benefits including.

Can I get any help if I don’t qualify?
If you do not qualify for a Free Heating Grant then you may still be eligible for help. It’s worth getting in touch to see what other grants, discounts or subsidies, may be available to you.
It is also worth bearing in mind that some local authorities may provide assistance to households under ECO Flex rules if they consider that they are at risk of fuel poverty and will struggle to heat their home.
How much will I save from a Free Heating Grant?
If you are eligible for a Grant then not only will you benefit from having a new central heating system installed for free or at a discounted price, but you will also be in line to benefit from annual savings on your heating bills. A new A-rated boiler and central heating system will be far more energy efficient and could save you in excess of £300 on your heating bills each year
Additionally, you will be doing your bit for the environment by reducing your carbon footprint, which all goes toward helping achieve Government targets for reducing levels of greenhouse gases. By accessing Free Heating Grants, you’ll be far more comfortable during winter and have a positive impact on your finances and the environment.
