Free boiler grants in Hexham

Across Hexham 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.

The Tyne Valley around Hexham has many older stone houses and off-grid rural properties, where ageing oil and non-condensing boilers are common. 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 Hexham

Hexham sits above the River Tyne in the heart of the Northumberland countryside, and its history reaches back to the 7th century, when Wilfrid founded an abbey here. Hexham Abbey, with its Anglo-Saxon crypt built from stones taken from nearby Roman Corbridge, still dominates the town. The Old Gaol, completed in 1333, is often described as the first purpose-built prison in England. As a market town serving the Tyne Valley, Hexham has long been a hub for the surrounding rural communities.

That long history is reflected in Hexham'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 Hexham 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.
