Gas Connection Grants

For many homes, a switch to a gas central heating system can improve the energy rating of the property and reduce energy bills significantly.

We work with Wales & West Utilities on the Warm Home Assistance scheme providing householders with gas connection grants and issuing vouchers to qualifying customers. These can then be used against the cost of a new gas connection.

Who qualifies for a voucher?

If you live in a privately owner or rented property there are two ways of qualifying for a gas connection voucher:

Receiving Key Qualifying Benefits

You live in a privately owned or rented property and claiming any of the benefits on the gas connection grant benefits list:

• Pension Guarantee Credit
• Income-based Jobseekers Allowance

• Child Tax Credit (an upper earnings limit applies)
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Income Support
• Universal Credit
• Council Tax Reduction

How it works

To apply please call 01656 747 622, we will then let you know if you can receive a contribution towards your gas connection. If you qualify, we will send you a Gas Connection Voucher to pay towards the cost of the gas connection.

This voucher, along with any additional payment required, and a signed quotation acceptance form, should then be sent to Wales & West Utilities who will arrange for your gas connection to take place.

Important Note: You should apply for a contribution towards your gas connection BEFORE you pay Wales & West Utilities for the gas connection.
