First-time Central Heating Grants Under ECO4 Scheme

Homeowners or private tenants who claim some benefits and have no radiator can apply for the grants. The primary aim of the scheme is to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions that have affected the environment more than vehicles on the road.

Who Pays For First Time Central Heating Grant & Installation?

The money to pay for the First Time Central Heating & Installation comes from energy suppliers as part of a government scheme to reduce carbon emissions, known as the Energy Companies Obligation (ECO4). An initial survey is carried out by an approved heating installer (for boilers or air source heat pumps), the installer completes the work on the approved property and the installer then invoices the utility companies for the grant amount.
