What is the First Time Central Heating Grant?

The First Time Central Heating Grant is part of the ECO4 government scheme, designed to help households reduce energy costs, cut down carbon emissions, and improve home comfort. 

This grant is for homes without any central heating system, giving homeowners and tenants the opportunity to install gas boilers, central heating radiators, TRVs, heat pumps, and smart heating controls—all free of charge. 

It’s perfect for houses that rely on outdated or inefficient heating solutions, such as electric heaters or coal fireplaces. Usually, a new central heating installation costs range between £3,500 and £10,000, but with this grant, you can get it for free

What Does this Central Heating Grant Cover?

 

A-rated Gas Boilers (if a gas metre is installed)
Heat Pumps (if no gas metre)
Radiators are installed in every room
Pipework to connect the boiler and radiators.
Smart thermostats to control your heating remotely.
TRVs to control the temperature in individual rooms.
Removal of old heaters, if needed.
Home Insulation upgrades to prevent heat loss.
