Due to popular demand, this scheme is now oversubscribed. Any applications we receive will be placed on a waiting list and will be contacted once we have secured further funding.
Thank you for your patience.
Is it really free?
Yes, completely free.
Eligible residents are being offered free gas central heating systems and installation as part of a new Portsmouth City Council initiative. There are no surprise costs – you will not be asked to pay any amount at any point during the scheme!
Why should I apply?
If you’re heating your home using electricity you could be paying as up to 3 times as much as those who use gas central heating. A gas central heating system can save you hundreds of pounds on your energy bills and keep your home warm and healthy for less.
Normally you would have to pay up to £6,000 for a new central heating system to be installed in your house. But through Portsmouth City Council you don’t have to pay anything!
Am I eligible?
The offer is open to homeowners, council or housing association tenants and private tenants. Please note that tenants will require their landlord’s permission. For full eligibility criteria, click here.
Thousands of people are eligible, most notably if:
- you receive any means tested benefit; or
- you have long-term health issues or receive any health or disability benefit; or
- you are on a low household income (Less than £35,000 a year)
