Boiler Grants for Carers on Benefits – 2025 Guide

•5 min read

If you're a carer supporting someone full-time and receiving a benefit like Carer's Allowance, you may qualify for a fully funded boiler replacement in 2025. The ECO4 and LA Flex schemes are designed to help carers stay warm, reduce energy costs, and remove the stress of boiler breakdowns.

Eligibility Criteria for Carers

  • ✓Receive Carer's Allowance or another qualifying benefit (e.g. UC, PIP)
  • ✓Live in a property with EPC E, F, or G
  • ✓Boiler is 7+ years old or not working
  • ✓Own or rent privately (landlord permission required)
  • ✓Live in a participating local council area

How LA Flex Helps Carers Qualify

Many carers are overlooked by traditional grant schemes, but LA Flex gives councils the power to approve based on health risks, fuel poverty, and caring responsibilities — even without core ECO4 benefits.

What's Included in the Boiler Grant?

Premium Equipment

  • •A-rated combi boiler (Vaillant, Ideal, Worcester Bosch)
  • •Professional installation
  • •Energy assessment
  • •Zero cost to the applicant
