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Many homes across the UK still rely on outdated or inefficient heating systems — and some have no central heating at all.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.
