Frequently asked questions

Can I get a grant to install central heating for the first time in PL1?

Yes. First-time central heating installations are an eligible measure under the Warm Homes Plan for qualifying households. If your PL1 home has no central heating and your household receives a qualifying benefit, you may be eligible for a fully or partially funded installation. Submit the form to check your eligibility.

What counts as first-time central heating?

First-time central heating refers to the installation of a full wet central heating system (boiler or heat pump with radiators) in a property that has no existing central heating. Properties that currently rely on open fires, portable heaters, or partial room heating qualify.

What type of central heating will be installed?

For off-gas-grid properties, an air source heat pump is the most common system funded under the Warm Homes Plan. For properties with access to mains gas, a gas boiler may be considered, though heat pumps are increasingly preferred under current scheme guidelines. The installer will advise based on your PL1 property.

What other improvements can be funded at the same time?

Insulation measures including loft, cavity wall, and solid wall insulation are commonly funded alongside the central heating installation to ensure the heating system performs efficiently. Smart heating controls are also often included. A free survey will determine the full package available.

How long does a central heating installation take?

Installing central heating for the first time in a typical PL1 property takes around 3 to 5 days, depending on the property size and system type. Pipework, radiators, boiler or heat pump, and controls are all included. You will be kept fully informed of the timeline before work begins.

Is the eligibility check free?

Yes. The form is free and takes about 60 seconds. If you pre-qualify, an accredited installer in PL1 will contact you to arrange a free home survey.
