Heating/energy grants.

Hello,

Myself and my partner are looking at purchasing our first house. We were aware it would need some modernising but upon viewing it has come to light it would actually need a brand new heating system as they currently have an extremely old floor mounted system in the kitchen. But would also need re-wiring etc.
Is anyone aware of any grants etc that could applied for, where u don't have to claim some form of benefit to apply for? Unfortunately all the avenues we have currently looked at, you have to meet a criteria of claiming certain benefits, and we won't be :(

Any help/advice is appreciated.

Thank you

    You may be able to get the boiler renewed under certain schemes but they would not relocate or sort the rest of the system out for free. The extras would be chargeable...and at quite a premium. You would also be limited on boiler options. Better to get exactly what you want, from who you want, for a price your comfortable with.
