EECA administers this funding through local service providers who meet installation and health and safety standards.

Benefits of installing a wood burner or heat pump.

Wood burners are incredibly efficient, providing high heat output that warms up your home instantly. Heat pumps facilitate consistent air movement, reducing the likelihood of stagnant air and contributing to a healthier living environment. They are excellent for people who suffer from asthma and allergies.
