Free boiler grants in Jarrow

Across Jarrow and the wider Tyne and Wear 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.

Jarrow's terraced housing from the industrial era commonly retains old 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 Jarrow

Jarrow is famous twice over: as the home of the Venerable Bede, who wrote his history of the English people at the monastery of St Paul's in the 8th century, and as the starting point of the 1936 Jarrow March, when unemployed men walked to London to protest at the loss of the shipyards. Both stories are central to the town's strong sense of identity.

That long history is reflected in Jarrow'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 Jarrow 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.
