Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will take steps to launch a scheme to provide funding for people who transfer from coal to gas central heating systems.

The Government ‘Help to Heat’ schemes ensure homes will be warmer and cheaper to heat. The Government will deliver upgrades to over half a million homes in the coming years through our Social Housing Decarbonisation and Home Upgrade Grant Schemes and Energy Company Obligation Scheme.

The £450 million Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £5,000 and £6,000 grants for Air and Ground Source Heat Pumps, respectively.

The Government has also launched a home retrofit tool on GOV.UK, ‘Find ways to save energy in your home’. Users can get tailored recommendations for home improvements that could make their property cheaper to heat and keep warm.
