UK homeowners and private tenants qualify for free first-time central heating grants under the ECO4 scheme 2025 for homes that have never had central heating. You could get free central heating if you’ve never had it!
Prisma Boiler Grants allows funding via the ECO4 Scheme to improve energy-saving central heating by supporting low-income families in the UK. Spend cozier days in a happier home and enjoy a reduced rate of energy expense.
What is The Free Central Heating Grant UK?
Some homes do not have central heating that works through radiators and a boiler. You could now be eligible for 100% funding to install an FTCH if you are a tenant or a homeowner without central heating. Our team of fully qualified, gas-safe registered engineers will carry out your installation and help you with your funding. APPLY NOW if:
- There is no heating history at home.
- Be either a tenant of private status or a property owner.
- Claim a qualifying benefit.
What Does This Central Heating Grant Cover?
The ECO4 scheme investigates every energy-saving alternative for your entire home. These free boilers with central heating also include the following:
- You are given a Gas boiler graded A-rated if the gas meter installation is in place.
- Heating pumps are considered if a gas meter isn’t present at all
- Your every room features radiators.
- Pipes that link the radiators and boiler.
- TRVs for individual room temperature control.
- Upgrade your home’s insulation to stop heat loss.
Upgrading your insulation and central heating can save as much as £600 a year on energy bills. How? Older boilers might be only 70% efficient, but new ones are above 92%. More savings and less fuel waste result from this. Moreover, new central heating systems in the UK cost between £3,500 and £10,000. However, they are free of charge with the first-time central heating grants.
