The Central Heating Programme is a Scottish Government funded initiative. Under the scheme, pensioners who have broken or inefficient systems could benefit from a replacement system and a more efficient system that could help cut energy bills. The Central Heating Programme provides heating, insulation measures, safety devices, energy advice and a benefit entitlement check. The Programme is available to private-sector homeowners and the tenants of private landlords who are;
- Aged 60yrs and over who have never had a central heating system;
- Those who have a system which is broken beyond repair, are aged between 60 and 74yrs and are in receipt of the Guarantee Element of Pension Credit;
- Those who have a system which is broken beyond repair and are aged 75 or over;
- Those who have a partial or inefficient system, are aged between 60 and 79yrs and are in receipt of the Guarantee Element of Pension Credit;
- Those who have a partial or inefficient system and are aged 80 or over.
Please be advised that other residency criteria will also apply.
The current Programme ends in March 2009. Interested parties can contact Scottish Gas on the Central Heating Programme free phone number.
