Can I Get a Grant to Replace Storage Heaters?
This is part of our complete overview: What are storage heaters?
If you're looking to replace your outdated storage heater, the good news is that there are grants available to help cover the cost. In Scotland, schemes like ECO4 and LA Flex can provide you with a free storage heater grant or reduce the cost significantly. These government-backed initiatives are designed to help households improve their energy efficiency, especially for those on lower incomes or in fuel poverty.
How Do These Grants Work?
Under the ECO4 (Energy Company Obligations Scheme), households in Scotland may be eligible for a storage heater replacement grant. This programme is designed to upgrade old or inefficient heating systems, including storage heaters, to more efficient energy models. LA Flex (Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Scheme), which works alongside ECO4, makes it possible for eligible customers to replace their storage heaters for free or at a reduced cost.
ECO4 - Focuses on improving home energy efficiency, often covering the total cost of replacing storage heaters.
LA Flex - Allows local authorities to extend funding to a wider range of households, meaning more people can qualify for a grant.
The Importance of a Home Survey
Before you can receive a grant, your home must be surveyed to determine eligibility. This survey assesses the condition of your current storage heaters and evaluates your home’s overall energy efficiency. It’s a key step in determining what type of grant you qualify for and how much funding you may receive.
At MPC Energy, we provide this home survey service for free, handling all the paperwork and application processes on your behalf. If you qualify, we can replace your existing storage heaters either at no cost or with substantial savings.
