Apply to First Time Central Heating Grants

Under the ECO4 scheme, the government aims to reduce energy use by £2.24 billion by March 2026. You can lower your yearly energy bills and help cut greenhouse gas emissions by getting a free central heating system for the first time.

Low EPC

Traditional heating systems use a lot of energy but don’t produce much heat. Applying for a first-time central heating grant can help you save a lot each year with lower energy use.

Not Having Radiators

If you’ve never had a boiler or radiators before, the grant will provide a complete central heating system using the most efficient technology available.

High Heating Bills

Older heating systems may still work, but they require a lot of energy to give a small amount of heat. Traditional systems usually work at 70-80% efficiency, while central heating can reach up to 98%, cutting energy bills by up to 40%.

FTCH System Unaffordable

The ECO4 scheme offers free central heating installation, including boilers, radiators, thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), smart thermostats, and the necessary piping that many homeowners cannot afford.

Free Installation

The grant covers the cost of installing a full central heating system, including the boiler, radiators for each room, TRVs, smart thermostats, and piping, all done by professionals.

Which Heating System is Eligible for Grants?

Non-centralized heating: Old heating systems that are not connected with radiators.
Storage Heaters: Traditional storage heater systems.
Direct Electric Heaters or Fan Heaters: Old electric heating systems.
Solid Fuel Systems: Traditional coal or wood-based heating systems.
Wood/biomass Room Heaters: They generate a huge amount of carbon dioxide.
Wood/biomass heaters: These are the biggest enemies of our environment.
Oil / LPG room heaters: More costly for annual energy bills.
Gas fired back boilers: Completely outdated and inefficient heating system
Electric underground or ceiling heater: If it comes without an electric boiler and many more.

Rating Criteria

What is an EPC?

EPC stands for Energy Performance Certificate, which measures how energy efficient your home is. Homes with an A, B, or C rating are considered very efficient, while those with E, F, or G ratings are considered as inefficient.

ECO4 Scheme and EPC

The ECO4 scheme offers free grants to install central heating systems for properties that have lower EPC ratings. Those with E, F, or G ratings can get grants to improve their energy efficiency. However, homes with high EPC, like A, B, or C, usually don’t qualify because they are already energy efficient.
