If  you do not qualify for a Warm Front Grant because you do not receive a relevant benefit, you may still be eligible for a £300 rebate.

This rebate is available to all householders aged 60 or over who own their home or rent it from a private landlord, who either have no central heating system or one which is inoperable.

Customers who are not eligible for Warm Front will be given the opportunity to register for the Warm Front £300 Heating Rebate Scheme. A Benefit Entitlement Check will be offered and if the Warm Front qualifying benefits are identified, the householder will follow the normal Warm Front route. If no benefits are identified, or the customer refuses the Check, they will be passed to the Warm Front £300 Heating Rebate Scheme.

A letter and voucher/claim form is sent to the customer detailing names of six registered installers working in their area. Householders qualifying for funding will only be permitted to use installers approved by GAS SAFE, NICEIC or OFTEC and who are registered with Eaga for the £300 Heating Rebate Scheme.

All customers will apply via the Eaga Contact Centre on 0800 316 2808.

The Warm Front scheme was temporarility suspended on 15 December 2010 due to reduced Government funding. Any applications made before this date will be honoured and the work installed before 31 March 2011. The new, revised Warm Front grant is scheduled to start 1 April 2011.
