The Highland Council has reminded eligible residents that there is still time to benefit from up to 100% Scottish Government grant funding available for First Time Central Heating.

This would be delivered through the installation of an air source heat pump, new radiators and new controls.

An air source heat pump uses electricity to extract heat from the outside air and can be used to heat both the home and the hot water tank.

This will generate warmth in one central place, distributing the heat through pipes to radiators throughout the home and will provide you with full control of your heating system.

To be eligible for funding, the property must be:

• Owner occupied or privately rented and must be your main residence

• Council Tax band A-C, D where the EPC rating is E, F or G

• Electrically heated.

Full eligibility criteria can be found on the Highland Council website.
