What is the First Time Central Heating Grant?

First Time Central Heating Grants under the ECO4 scheme help those homes that have never had a central heating system. While the usual fitting cost for a central heating system ranges between £3,500 to £10,000, this grant will cover all the costs associated with the installation of a gas boiler, radiators, pipework, and smart controls. This is perfect for homes dependent on electric heaters, coal fireplaces, or inefficient heating systems. As a matter of fact, upgrading not only cuts your energy bills but also carbon emissions, making your home warmer, greener, and cheaper to run.

What Does the Central Heating Grant Cover?

A-rated Gas Boilers: Installed for homes with a gas metre, to attain the best efficiency.
Radiators: In each room, one is provided to ensure equal heating.
Complete Pipework: Seamlessly connects the boiler with radiators.
Smart Thermostats: Remotely control your heating for convenience and efficiency.
Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs): Customise the temperature in each room.
Removing Old Systems: After their environmentally friendly disposal, inefficient or aged heaters are replaced.
Air Source Heat Pumps: In homes with no access to the gas network, offering a sustainable alternative.
Insulation Upgrades: Included in order to minimise heat loss and maximise efficiency, thus ensuring savings for years to come.
