What Are the Advantages of Initial Central Heating?
If you presently lack central heating and are uncertain about availing the first-time central heating grant, the response is clear. This funding would decrease your heating expenses for both you and your family, all while delivering a cozier and more comfortable living space, with no financial burden on your part!

- Electric room heaters, encompassing direct acting room heaters, fan heaters, or inefficient electric storage heaters.
- Gas room heaters, including fixed mains gas room heaters.
- Gas fire with a back boiler.
- Solid fossil fuel fire with a back boiler.
- Electric underfloor or ceiling heating (excluding electric boilers).

To secure the grant, someone residing at the property must also receive one or more of the qualifying benefits outlined here.
Eligibility for initial central heating is irrespective of your dwelling type. The number of bedrooms or occupants does not affect your qualification. The sole housing prerequisites are private ownership or renting, along with sufficient home insulation. If your insulation is lacking, worry not! We can arrange its installation at no extra charge before installing your new heating system.
A gas connection and meter are necessary prerequisites before installing central heating. If these are absent in your home, inform us, as we may be able to assist in arranging a gas connection and meter at minimal or no additional expense in most instances.
So, if your current residence lacks central heating, you privately own or rent the property, and you meet the criteria for a qualifying benefit, seize the opportunity presented by the government’s ECO4 scheme. Apply for a first-time central heating grant today.”

FAQ's
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government energy efficiency scheme in Great Britain to help reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty. The scheme began in April 2013 with most of our customers qualifying under the Home Cost Reduction Obligation (HHCRO) Under HHCRO, obligated suppliers must provide measures which improve the ability of households to heat their homes. This includes actions that result in heating savings such as the replacement or repair of a boiler, cavity wall insulation and loft insulation.Â
Most people know the scheme as a free boiler replacement scheme however under ECO 4 the following energy-saving measures are available
Â
- Air Source Heat Pumps

Funding for your Home Energy Improvements is paid for by the Leading Energy Companies such as British Gas, SSE, Scottish Power, N-Power and so on. They have a quota to fill for improving the energy performance of UK Homes and can face large fines if they miss their targets. The aim is to reduce how much fuel UK households use on average. To improve this they aim to make generating heat cheaper (with new boilers), and maintaining heat easier (with insulation).
The money for these improvements comes from the profits of companies everyone is contributing to monthly, in our energy bills. It doesn’t come from the Government the same way that things like Universal Credit does.Â
