Replacing an old boiler or upgrading a cold, inefficient home can cost thousands of pounds. And for households already struggling with energy bills, that upfront cost can make even essential heating improvements feel desperately out of reach.
The good news is that several government-backed schemes can help with the cost of heating upgrades, insulation and low-carbon technology. In some cases, eligible households may be able to get work carried out for free. In others, grants reduce the cost of installing a heat pump or other low-carbon heating system, but may not cover the full bill.
