The Warm Front scheme installs insulation and heating improvements to make homes more energy efficient. The scheme now has a new set of eligibility criteria and will be accepting new applications from 14 April 2011.
What is the Warm Front scheme?
The Warm Front scheme provides heating and insulation improvements to households on certain income-related benefits living in properties that are poorly insulated and/or do not have a working central heating system.
Qualifying households can get improvements worth up to £3,500 (£6,000 where oil central heating and other alternative technologies are recommended).
Grants are available for improvements such as:
- cavity wall insulation
- hot water tank insulation
- gas, electric, liquid petroleum gas or oil heating
- convert your solid-fuel open fire to a glass-fronted fire
