Free boiler grants in Cramlington
Across Cramlington and the wider Northumberland 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.
Cramlington's earliest new-town housing now dates back over half a century, and many of these homes still have older boilers fitted decades ago. 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 Cramlington
Although there has been a settlement at Cramlington since medieval times, the modern town is largely a product of the 1960s, when it was developed as a 'new town' to provide housing and industry for the expanding Tyneside conurbation. It grew quickly around planned neighbourhoods and a new town centre, and today is a substantial commuter town with significant manufacturing and pharmaceutical employers nearby.
That long history is reflected in Cramlington'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 Cramlington 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.
