Get funding for first time central heating

First Time Central Heating

Cosy Homes has secured funding from Affordable Warmth Solutions - Warm Homes Fund, to install first time gas central heating systems free of charge to private properties in Lancashire (subject to qualifying criteria).

If you do have a gas central heating system i.e. a gas boiler with radiators, then you could qualify for first time central heating through ECO funding. If you have gas to your property then surveys and installations can be carried out extremely quickly.

If you do not have a gas central heating you would qualify for the Home Upgrade Grant. An Air Source Heat Pump can be installed together with a wet central heating system. The installation is free of charge if your household income is less than £31,000. Check out the relevant pages for more information.

FAQs

Households with Central Heating Systems

In 1970 only 30 percent of UK households had a central heating system installed. This has risen to 96% today, however 1000's of homes in Lancashire are in the 4% still without.

What is a Central Heating System

Central heating systems are the most common forms of heating a home in the UK. They provide warmth to the interior of a building by circulating hot water to radiators. Radiators are mounted to the wall where the hot water passes in to and releases heat into a room. Electric storage heaters are also used as an alternative central heating system.

Maintain an Ideal Temperature All Year Round

Maintaining your home at a healthy temperature (18 - 21 degrees) will reduce the risk of respiratory problems, strokes, heart attacks, hypothermia and accidents around the home. A central heating system can help ensure a sustained temperature through out a house.

"Just a quick line to thank you for all your help, my central heating is now installed and I am very pleased with the work. The installers (Jack and friend) worked extremely hard and completed the job in a very impressive time. A big thank you to you and all your team."

"I wanted to let you know that the workers that fitted my new boiler were brilliant, they talked us through the whole process. They were polite, kind and considerate to us. The house was left as though they hadn't even been here and we would like to thank you again for helping us to replace our old broken down boiler."

Mrs G - June 2020
