The First Time Central Heating Grant, part of the UK Government’s ECO4
scheme, offers fully funded support to help households install a central heating system for the
first time. The goal is to reduce fuel poverty, lower energy bills, and improve energy efficiency in
homes across the UK.
This is a grant, not a loan, so there's nothing to repay.
The ECO4 targets 3 main groups to ensure support reaches those who need it most:
You will qualify for free heating and insulation through an NHS referral. For health conditions related to mobility/cardiovascular (high blood pressure, heart failure, stroke) /respiratory (asthma, lung cancer, COPD) / immunosuppressed (cancer, splenectomy, rheumatological disease).
You will qualify if someone in your household is in receipt of benefits. These are: pension savings credit, tax credit, universal credit, child tax benefit, working tax, housing benefit, employee & support allowance, income support. pension guarantee credit.
If your combined Income before tax is below £31,000 annually, you will be eligible for free heating and insulation upgrades.
For gas central heating, the property must have a mains gas supply with a meter installed before 1st April 2022.
This support comes from the ECO4 scheme, a government-backed programme funded by energy companies. It aims to help low-income and vulnerable households improve their energy efficiency and reduce heating costs—while also supporting the UK’s environmental goals.
