Welcome to the Eco-Home Network
We are proud to offer free first-time gas central heating systems to households in Hampshire through the ECO scheme. If you currently have no heating system or a system without a boiler and no more than one radiator, you may qualify for this grant.
To be eligible for the grant, someone living at the property must receive one or more qualifying state benefits, such as Child Benefits or Universal Credit. Exceptions may apply under the ECO Flex rules found on the Eligibility form. Additionally, your existing boiler must be over five years old, your property must have a gas supply, and you must receive a combination of government benefits.
Affordable Warmth Scheme
The Affordable Warmth Scheme provides Central heating grants to qualifying households under the ECO initiative, which aims to reduce fuel poverty and carbon emissions in the UK.
