Funding for Central Heating & Boiler Upgrades
Through the Government’s ECO scheme, eligible householders across the UK can now access a heating grant for a brand new boiler and central heating system.
Depending on your circumstances and property type, you could get a modern, energy efficient boiler and central heating system installed in your home for little or no cost. (Subject to survey)
YES Energy Solutions is helping hundreds of residents access ECO grants for gas boilers and central heating systems. If you claim certain state benefits and your existing heating system is either broken down or not working efficiently, then we could claim funding to help support the cost of a full upgrade.
Read the qualifying criteria below.
