OFTEC highlights funding opportunities for consumers and technicians

OFTEC has launched a new online funding guidance page, bringing together information on financial support available to both consumers and heating technicians across the UK and Ireland.

The page outlines a wide range of funding schemes, including grants that help householders reduce the cost of heating upgrades and energy-efficiency improvements, as well as support aimed directly at technicians. This includes funding for training and upskilling, alongside schemes that enable installers to undertake funded work as part of government-backed schemes.

Clear guidance

With funding varying by region, OFTEC’s guidance provides a clear, location-specific overview, helping technicians quickly identify what support may be available in the areas they operate. This makes it easier for installers to advise customers, plan future work, and access opportunities linked to low-carbon heating and energy-efficiency initiatives.

By highlighting funding for both training and installation work, the new guidance page supports technicians as the heating industry continues to evolve, while helping consumers overcome financial barriers to improving their homes.
