What do heating upgrades cover?

Heating upgrades cover a range of improvements to how your home is heated. That can mean replacing an old, inefficient boiler, moving from older electric heaters to modern electric heating such as high heat retention storage heaters, or adding better controls so you only heat the parts of your home you need, when you need to.

The right option depends on your property, your current system and your household. We do not install heating ourselves – we connect suitable enquiries with experienced installation partners who can assess your home and talk you through what they would recommend.

What’s covered

Types of heating upgrade

Boiler replacements

Replacing an older boiler with a modern, more efficient model may help reduce the energy your home uses for heating.

Electric heating upgrades

Modern electric options, such as high heat retention storage heaters, may offer a more efficient alternative to older electric heating.

Heating controls

Thermostats, programmers, smart controls and thermostatic radiator valves can give you more control over when and where you heat.

Potential benefits

Potential benefits

Every home and household is different, so the benefits you see will depend on your circumstances.

More comfortable warmth

A modern system with good controls may help keep rooms at a more even, comfortable temperature.

Improved efficiency

Newer heating equipment is generally more efficient than older systems, which could help reduce the energy used to heat your home.

Better control

Heating controls can make it easier to heat only the rooms and times you need, which may help avoid wasted energy.

Reliability and peace of mind

Replacing an ageing system may reduce the risk of breakdowns and give you more confidence heading into winter.

What affects which upgrade suits my home?

A partner will normally consider several things before recommending an upgrade:

  • Your current heating system and how old it is
  • The type and size of your property
  • How well insulated the property is
  • Your hot water needs and current cylinder or tank
  • Whether the property has a gas connection
  • Your household’s heating patterns and budget

Not sure? You don’t need to know the answers. Tell us about your property and we’ll help you understand your options.

Funding

Funding towards heating upgrades may be available in some circumstances, depending on the rules of the relevant scheme and your household. Our funding page explains the kinds of things that are usually taken into account.

Please note: Funding and eligibility depend on the rules of the relevant scheme and your individual circumstances. Submitting an enquiry does not guarantee funding, eligibility or installation.
