Get a grant of up to £1000 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 £400# a year off your annual fuel bill but also get a grant worth up to £1000* 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 £400 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?
