Heating controls grant

About the grant

Heating controls work by matching your heating and hot water schedules to the way you use your home. It's a smarter way to heat your home and hot water.

This grant will help you install heating controls in your home. Learn about the grant value and how to apply.

Please note the difference between the Heating Controls Measure Grant and the Heap Pump System Grant.

• The Heating Controls Grant helps you upgrade your existing heating system with smart controls for better efficiency and comfort, while the Heat Pump System Grant supports the installation of a new, energy-efficient heat pump that replaces your current heating system. Heating controls enhance what you already have; heat pumps are a full system change using renewable energy. When navigating the Grant Application Portal be sure to choose the grant that best suits your home’s needs.

Grant value for heating controls

Each individual grant offers a fixed value.

Who can apply

All homeowners, including private landlords, whose homes were built and occupied before 2011 can apply. This is defined as the date your electricity meter was installed.

Your property will not be eligible for a Heating Controls grant if you are applying for, or have previously claimed, a Heat Pump System grant. This is because a Heat Pump System must incorporate heating controls as part of the grant works.
