First Time Central Heating
What is the First Time Central Heating Grant?
The First Time Central Heating Grant is part of the government’s ECO4 scheme, designed to help households lower energy bills, reduce carbon emissions, and improve overall home comfort.
This grant is available to homes that don’t yet have a central heating system, offering homeowners and tenants the chance to install energy-efficient heating solutions such as gas boilers, central heating radiators, TRVs, heat pumps, and smart heating controls—at no cost.
It’s ideal for homes that currently rely on inefficient or outdated heating methods, like electric heaters or coal fires. While a new central heating system can typically cost anywhere between £3,500 and £10,000, with this grant, you can have it installed for FREE.
How Much Can You Save by Upgrading Central Heating?
Improve your home and save money with better central heating and insulation! Here’s how:
With a modern boiler boasting over 92% efficiency compared to older models at just 70%, you waste less fuel, translating to potential savings of up to £600 annually on energy bills.
Even better, while installing a new central heating system in the UK typically costs between £3,500 and £10,000, you may qualify for first-time central heating grants—covering the cost entirely. That’s a brand-new system, absolutely free, saving money now and for years to come!
