First Time Central Heating Grants (FTCH)
First Time Central Heating grants assist low-income and inefficient homes through the installation of central heating and other measures as part of a whole house approach. ECO 4 Grants provide fully funded first time central heating measures that can include the installation of new efficient boilers, electric heating upgrades, air source heat pumps, accompanied by insulation measures and more (such as Solar PV).
ECO 4 and Upgrading Inefficient gas boilers
ECO4 focuses on replacing outdated, inefficient non condensing boilers and gas back boilers with more environmentally friendly ones (such as a condensing boiler) or a more energy efficient heating system. The government will urge households to replace their boilers with more eco friendly options such as heat pumps. ECO4 will also continue to install solar photovoltaics (PV) along with any recommended measures as part of a whole house approach.
Heat pumps using an air source
Air source heat pumps have become extremely popular in the United Kingdom. They are an excellent, sustainable and cost-effective alternative to typical heating systems. According to the Energy Saving Trust, an air source heat pump may reduce your carbon footprint by 44% per year. Air source heat pumps can not only keep your home warm, but they can also provide hot water. Additionally, they are far more efficient than the conventional oil or gas-fired boilers. Eco Connect has a network of certified installers across the UK for air source heat pumps.
