If your property has a mains gas supply, one of the most common forms of heating and hot water supply would be a gas boiler system. However not all gas boilers are created equally. Older models can be terribly inefficient. A replacement with a newer more efficient model could lead to fantastic savings on your gas usage and costs. 

At Heating Grants, we understand the importance of having a reliable and efficient heating system. If you are a homeowner, we can help you navigate the options for replacing your gas boiler, the funding can allow you a full gas boiler replacement at no cost. If you are a tenant, unfortunately we cannot offer a direct gas boiler replacement under the ECO4 scheme, however there are other options such as air source heat pumps that you may be eligible for, so it's still worth enquiring. 

Existing Non-condensing boilers: If your boiler is older than 15 years, it's likely a non-condensing model. Replacing it with a new, condensing boiler can significantly improve energy efficiency and reduce your energy bills.

Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are a smart way to slash your energy bills and leave a smaller carbon footprint. Unlike traditional gas, oil, or LPG heating systems, ASHPs are incredibly efficient! Here's why:

Money Back in Your Pocket: ASHPs extract heat from the air and multiply it – providing up to three times more heat than the electricity they use! This translates to real savings on your heating costs.

Go Green, Save Money: Not only do ASHPs cut your energy bills, but they also reduce your environmental impact. Since they run on electricity, you can even switch to a renewable energy supplier for a completely green heating solution
