Through the Government’s ECO4 scheme, eligible householders across the UK can now access a heating grant for a brand new energy efficient heating system. A heating system grant is non-repayable.

This is part of the Government (ECO) Scheme set up to help with home improvements for low-income households. It provides qualifying homeowners with access to improving home efficiency in order to reduce the cost of energy bills, as well as carbon footprints when heating their homes.

An air source heat pump is a type of heat pump that can absorb heat from outside a structure and release it inside using the same vapor-compression refrigeration process and much the same equipment as air conditioners but used in the opposite direction.

A storage heater or heat bank is an electrical heater which stores thermal energy during the evening, or at night when electricity is available at lower cost, and releases the heat during the day as required.
