Heating Grants

Warm Front Grants.

The Warm Front grant is the Government scheme for insulation and heating and is run by Carillion Energy Services. The scheme is funded by DECC and provides insulation and heating measures to people on various benefits and allowances up to the value of £3500 (£6000 if oil fired heating is required).

Warm Front covers the following measures:

- Cavity wall insulation
- Loft insulation
- Draught proofing
- Low energy light bulbs
- Hot water tank jackets
- Gas/Oil Central heating/Electric heating where no heating exists
- Repair/replace existing heating if non-operational, condemned or working intermittently
- Conversion of solid fuel open fire to a glass fronted fire

DEAC has a direct web portal so that we can refer people straight through to Warmfront.

If the cost of the work exceeds the grant then you may be able to have the excess paid under a grant or loan by your local authority, please contact the local authority direct to see if they have any funds available or ask us and we will advise you accordingly.
