Do I qualify for a Warm Front Grant?
If you own your own home or rent it from a private landlord, you may be eligible for a grant of up to £3,500 (or £6,000 if oil central heating is involved) under the Warm Front Scheme. Warm Front Grants are available in England only; other schemes operate in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
If the property has previously received Warm Front improvements, the Warm Front grant now available will be the balance of £3,500 (or £6,000 if oil central heating is involved) less the value of all works previously completed.

£300 Heating Rebate Scheme
Since 2001 Warm Front has helped thousands of people receive insulation and heating improvements to make their homes warmer, healthier and more energy-efficient. More funds have now been made available to help some of those who would not otherwise be eligible for Warm Front.
If you do not qualify for a Warm Front Grant because you do not receive a relevant benefit, you may still be eligible for a £300 rebate.
This rebate is available to all householders aged 60 or over who own their home or rent it from a private landlord, who either have no central heating system or one which is inoperable.
If you are interested in saving more money on your bills Help-Link can also offer other services that are not part of the Warm Front Scheme but can also save you money on your energy bills in the long term.
