What does a Warm Front Grant get me ?
The grant provides a package of insulation and heating improvements up to the value of £2,700. Warm Front is a Government funded initiative and is managed by EAGA.

Once you grant has been approved, an assesor will arrange to survey your home and recommend improvements.

Improvements available include

Loft InsulationWe can arrange for two layers of insulation to your loft. This reduces heat loss by up to 25% (If your loft is already insulated, we may be able to add more).

Cavity Wall InsulationThis is a very effective way to insulate your home. It can reduce heat loss by up to 35%.

Central HeatingWe can arrange to have your boiler fixed, fix exsisting central heating systems and install new gas, electric or oil central heating systems.



Do I Qualify for a Warm Front Grant ?
Warm Front grants are available to home owners and people who rent from private landlords.

If you have received a Warm Front Grant before, you may still be able to use the balance up to £2700 or £4000 if oil central heating is included.
