Eligibility

​If you’re a homeowner…

​

You’re likely to be eligible if you heat your home using one of the following:

​

• electric storage heaters

• room heaters 

• open fires

​​

AND

​

• you are in receipt of any means-tested or disability-related benefits

 

If you are on a low income and have a high cost of heating your home, or on a low income and vulnerable to the cold because of age, illness or disability, you may also be eligible.

If the above applies to you, then please complete the application form or call the Connected for Warmth team on freephone 0800 029 4547

 

Please note that we may need to confirm further eligibility details with you during the application process, and that a technical feasibility assessment will need to be made of your property.

 

If you’re a private tenant

​

If you meet the criteria above you may also be eligible for the scheme. We will also need to secure your landlord’s permission AND they will need to make a financial contribution towards the scheme. Please get in touch with us on 0800 029 4547 or complete the application form and we can discuss it further with you.

​

If you’re a social tenant

 

The Connected for Warmth scheme can’t install air source heat pumps into individual socially rented properties. However, if you don’t currently have a heat pump then please ask your landlord to get in touch with us at info@connectedforwarmth.org.uk or 0800 029 4547 as we may be able to work with them directly to assist you.

​

*Installation of a free air source heat pump is subject to a number of further eligibility checks and a site survey or technical feasibility assessment.
