Eden District Council has introduced a new Heating System Service and Repair Grant.
Residents with a household income under £31,000 could be eligible for a grant of up to £750 that doesn’t need to be paid back.
The money can be used towards servicing or maintaining heating systems – such as their boilers or radiators. Financial assistance is available for oil, gas and electric heating systems.
A spokesperson said: “Residents are encouraged to apply now, as the grant is being allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. All funds must be allocated before March 31, 2023.
“Applicants must be homeowners, over the age of 18 and either in receipt of a passported benefit or have a gross household income of less than £31,000, and savings less than £16,000.
“The grant will provide up to £750 to cover the servicing or repairing, but not replacement, of an existing heating system.”
