Why Install Central Heating Now

No Heating System? No Comfort, No Efficiency, and Higher Bills

If your home relies on plug-in heaters or electric panels, you’re paying more for less warmth.
A first-time central heating grant gives you a full, modern system — boiler, radiators, thermostatic controls — designed to heat your home evenly and efficiently.

Here’s why it matters:

  • Electric heaters waste up to 50% more energy than central heating systems.
  • Central heating distributes warmth evenly throughout your home.
  • Better energy efficiency means lower heating costs and a higher EPC rating.
  • New systems are safer, quieter, and maintenance-free for years.

Funded by the government, installed by trusted professionals — with Eco Energy Grants, it’s completely hassle-free.

What Our Customers Say

FAQs

Common Questions About Free Air Source Heat Pump Grants

 Yes — under ECO4, the full heat pump installation cost is covered if you qualify

 The full system: outdoor unit, indoor heat exchanger, hot water cylinder (if needed), and thermostatic controls.

Possibly. A well-insulated home makes heat pumps perform at their best — we’ll check this during your free survey.

 The air to water heating system extracts warmth from the outside air, upgrades it using electricity, and circulates it through your radiators or underfloor heating.

 No. Despite higher electricity use, their high efficiency means lower overall bills — often 25–40% cheaper than gas or oil systems.

 All installations are completed by MCS-accredited engineers through Eco Energy Grants.
