Electric storage heaters primarily use off-peak energy – up to 90% of your heating requirement may be satisfied through low-cost energy. This, in turn, means that you may be able to enjoy more than 25% savings compared to a regular storage heater system, and as much as 45% or more, compared to a traditional radiator system.
Government Energy Grants works with certified installers only who will conduct a free survey at your premises to determine if you qualify for storage heater grants through the ECO scheme.
Government Energy Grants offers a very straightforward and hassle-free process to help you cover the cost of new storage heater installation for free. Simple get in touch with us and our friendly advisor will put you through an easy evaluation process.
Next, we will dispatch a team to carry out a free survey of your property to determine what kind of storage heater you can have installed. They will also ensure that you qualify for a free electric storage heater grant through ECO.
As soon as your eligibility has been confirmed, we will submit the grant qualification for you and arrange for the installation to begin within the next few days, giving you a warmer, more energy efficient home where you’ll also see a reduction in your annual heating bills.
Newer storage heaters are also cheaper to install and run compared to, say, a central heating system and much easier to maintain – there’s no piping involved as such since only electricity is required.

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a Government energy efficiency scheme set up to help reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty. The scheme was launched in April 2013 and over time it has been amended once certain obligation were hit. The scheme aims to help low income and vulnerable households with a free grant so that they can afford new energy saving measures. These grants are completely free and not repaid under any circumstances. The value of Grant you receive is based on your property and what improvements can be made.
You need to be a customer of one of the medium to large energy providers in the UK. You will need to own or rent a home with an EPC rating of A to E. However, if you are renting, you will only get certain energy efficient grants and you will need permission from your landlord to obtain the energy measures entitled to you under the grant schemes. Social housing properties are not eligible to qualify for grants under ECO, however it is always best to contact your local council authority. Finally, you or your tenant will need to qualify for a range of UK benefits.
Ofgem is a non-ministerial government department and an independent national regulatory authority. Their objective is to protect the interest of the consumers and is responsible for delivering and regulating government schemes, such as this one.
