Cosy Homes Heating Grant

The Cosy Homes Heating Grant is a new Scheme operated by Wirral Council to help vulnerable private sector households in, or at risk of fuel poverty, where the household does not qualify for the government’s Warm Front scheme.

The grant can be used for heating work such as central heating installation, boiler replacements and heating efficiency improvements such as thermostats.
