Central Heating grants

printmeister

Hi all,

My mother in law who is 90, owns her house but it has just one gas fire in the living room. Would she be eligible for a grant to install central heating?
If so, would it be a percentage or would it cover the full cost?

She doesn't want to move out, but is prepared to stay with us while any work is done (which I assume will be major upheaval as there is no central heating at all at the moment)

She is receiving Income Support..

TIA
John

Try looking here http://www.government-grants.co.uk/gas-oil-central-heating-grants.shtml Sure there are probably other websites.

The Warm Front Scheme in England which does the central heating installations is suspended until 1 April 2011. Link to more info and contact details for when it does start up again.

(The link Spiro provided is to a marketing firm which appears to be acting as a middleman for central heating and insulation companies, so I wouldn't use it. The one I have provided is the right government website)
