Why Oil-Heated Homes
Why Oil-Heated Homes Are Often Good Candidates for Heat Pump Funding
Homes heated by oil boilers are off the main gas grid, which can make them especially relevant for grant funding. Many oil boilers are older and less efficient, and the properties often have outdoor space suitable for an external heat pump unit.
Off the gas grid
Oil-heated homes are off the main gas grid, which can make them relevant for additional funding routes.
Older oil boilers
Many oil boilers are older and less efficient, making a modern heat pump an appealing upgrade.
Rural & suburban homes
Oil-heated properties are often in rural or suburban areas with outdoor space for an external unit.
Grant suitability
Funding depends on the property, current heating system and survey, but oil-heated homes are often worth checking.
