Anyone had Warmfront?

Question

I,d like some advice on the Warmfront scheme, my boiler has blown up and a friend has given me their number. I,d like to know if anyone has had their heating fixed by them??? And were they any good???

Answer 1

to qualify for warm front you must meet certain criteria,that is through age or certain benefits like disability living allowance,pension credit,this is just to give you an idea,i had my walls cavity insulated and a new front double glazed door as that was not done,my mother has just had her walls insulated and a new combi boiler fitted next week,the total allowance as already answered is £2700 maximum.anything over that you pay for.ring to see if you qualify but it only applies to the private sector and not housing associations or council owned property or privately rented accommodation.

Answer 2

Pensioner Joan Dyson received a Warm Front grant in 2002 to get her loft insulated. Three years later, an electrician inspected her loft and told her only half of it had been insulated.
Dyson complained to Warm Front but it refused to complete the work. Following our involvement, EAGA, the company managing the scheme, has promised to complete the loft insulation.
Applicants can be granted up to £2,700 for normal boilers (or up to £4,000 for oil boilers) for their heating and home efficiency to be improved. If the cost of the work exceeds that, the client pays the excess. Many people complained to Watchdog because of what they believe are excessive costs.
One example is single mum Teresa Hodgetts. Her 28-year-old boiler is on its last legs, and Hodgetts thought her worries were over when she qualified for a Warm Front grant. But Warm Front quoted her over £3,000 to change it. Independent plumbers have quoted a maximum of £2,000 for the same work. Warm Front won't use an alternative contractor.
The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), monitors the scheme on behalf of the government. It says the majority of Warm Front recipients are happy, but it also says it'll look to improve services.
EAGA says Warm Front can make a huge improvement to the quality of life of vulnerable people. The company says over 1.2 million households across England are now warmer and healthier thanks to Warm Front.
The company also told Watchdog there will be some occasions where it may fall short of the mark on its own high standards. EAGA apologises, and assures customers that it'll do all it can to rectify the situation.
