For detailed advice on the types of heating and hot water systems available go to the Energy Saving Trust.

Finding an installer

We recommend that you find a heating engineer that has signed up to a code of practice. This includes:

• mains gas or LPG - Gas safe register
• oil – Oftec
• electric – NICEIC or Napit

Financial help

If you are a homeowner or are responsible for getting your heating fixed, you may be able to get financial assistance to help with the cost.

The Energy Company Obligation offers financial assistance for those in receipt of certain benefits or on a low income and vulnerable.
