Central Heating Grant Scheme in Bournemouth
The Eco-Home Network is delighted to announce that it is now easier for households in Bournemouth, Poole, and Christchurch in Dorset to access free first-time gas central heating systems. This is possible through funding from the ECO scheme, which aims to reduce the UK's fuel poverty and carbon emissions.
Qualifying for the Central Heating Grant Scheme
You may qualify for this grant if you currently have no heating system or a system without a boiler and no more than one radiator. To be approved 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.
To qualify for the central heating grant scheme, you must own your home or private tenants must have permission from the landlord. 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.
The 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. By transitioning from off-gas heating sources to gas central heating systems, you can help the UK reach its goal of net 0% carbon emissions by 2050.
Applying for the Grant
Applying for the grant is a straightforward process that can be completed online. Once you have provided all the necessary information, you will be contacted by a member of the Eco-Home Network team to arrange a free survey of your property. The survey will help determine the most suitable central heating system for your home and ensure it meets all the necessary safety requirements.
The Benefits of a Free Central Heating System
The benefits of a free central heating system are manifold. Not only will you be able to keep your home warm and comfortable during the colder months, but you will also be able to save money on your energy bills. Gas central heating systems are more efficient than other heating sources, meaning you will use less energy to heat your home. This, in turn, will reduce your carbon footprint and help to protect the environment.
In addition to the financial and environmental benefits, a free central heating system can also improve your health and well-being. Cold homes can be detrimental to your physical and mental health, particularly if you are elderly or have a pre-existing medical condition. Keeping your home warm can reduce the risk of cold-related illnesses and improve your overall quality of life.
The Eco-Home Network team is here to support you every step of the way, from the initial application to the installation of your new central heating system.
