Free Boiler Grants in Keswick
Looking to replace an old boiler in Keswick?

If your home has a qualifying old boiler, we can check whether you're eligible in about a minute.
Free boiler grants in Keswick
Across Keswick and the wider Cumbria area, thousands of homes are still heated by boilers fitted before 2005. These older units are typically non-condensing, running at perhaps 65–78% efficiency, which means a large slice of every heating bill is wasted up the flue. A modern condensing boiler runs at over 90%, so replacing an old one can noticeably cut bills while making the home warmer and more reliable.
Keswick's stone cottages and guest houses, many off the gas grid, often rely on ageing oil boilers. If that sounds like your property, you may be able to have it replaced through a grant. The eligibility check is free and there's no obligation — we'll simply tell you honestly whether you qualify.
A little about Keswick
Keswick sits between the fells and the shores of Derwentwater in the heart of the Lake District. Once a centre of graphite mining and the pencil-making industry it spawned — celebrated at the Derwent Pencil Museum — it became a magnet for visitors in the Romantic era and remains one of the most popular bases for exploring the Lakes.
That long history is reflected in Keswick's housing, and with older property often comes older heating. Whatever the age or style of your home, if it relies on a pre-2005 boiler we can help you find out whether grant funding could cover a replacement.

How the grant works
The process is simple. First, you check your eligibility online or over the phone — you'll generally need a qualifying old boiler plus a household member receiving certain benefits or on a low income. Next, a qualified surveyor visits your Keswick home to confirm the boiler type and assess the system. If funding is approved, our Gas Safe registered engineers install a new condensing boiler, usually within a day, and register the warranty for you. From start to finish we keep things clear, local and pressure-free.
