Warm Homes for Everyone – With Government-Backed Support
Many homes across the UK still rely on outdated or inefficient heating systems — and some have no central heating at all. Under the government’s ECO4 and LA Flex schemes, qualifying households can now receive a full central heating installation at little or no cost.
Whether you currently use electric heaters, storage heaters, or open fires, Eco Bear can help you access funded upgrades to bring your home up to modern efficiency standards.
What Is First-Time Central Heating?
First-Time Central Heating (FTCH) means having a full gas or renewable heating system installed in a property that has never had central heating before.
Typical upgrades include:
-
Gas or renewable central heating pipework
-
Radiators and thermostatic controls
-
Connection to an efficient boiler (installed under the same grant where applicable)
All systems are designed to provide even, controllable warmth throughout your home — drastically reducing both energy waste and running costs.
Why Central Heating Matters
-
Comfort: A steady, consistent temperature across all rooms
-
Efficiency: A rated heating systems use up to 30% less energy than electric or plug-in heaters
-
Health: Warmer homes reduce the risk of damp, mould, and cold-related illnesses
-
Value: A modern heating system can improve your home’s EPC rating and property value
With gas and electricity bills averaging around £143 per month for UK households, efficient heating can make a major difference to your budget.
