Switch to Gas Home Heating

Get a grant of up to £1300 towards the cost*

Heating your home with coal, electricity or oil is like burning your money - it's not good for your pocket or the environment. By switching to gas home heating you could not only save up to £300# a year off your annual fuel bill but also get a grant worth up to £1300* towards the cost.

What are the benefits of switching to Gas Home heating?

  • Gas is less carbon intensive than coal or electricity which is good news for the environment.
  • It could reduce the cost of your energy bill. For an average 3 bed semi, a gas heating system will be about £300 cheaper to run each year# than coal or electric.
  • Gas heating is supplied continuously directly to the boiler, ready for when you want to use it. Compare this to coal which is heavy, dirty and requires storage space.

How much help would I receive towards the cost?

Are you a homeowner? If so, you could be entitled to grant funding towards the cost of a gas heating system. You could get up to £1300 towards the cost if you switch to gas home heating*. Call our approved partner Sustain to find out more on 0800 980 5978.
