VENSAV2030 - History of the reduced rate: grant-funded installation of heating systems measures and qualifying security goods

In order to reflect the 2000 extension of the HEES, the relief was extended to the grant- funded installations of the following heating system measures:

  • gas room heaters with thermostatic control;
  • electric storage heaters;
  • closed solid fuel fire cassettes;
  • electric dual immersion water heaters with foam-insulated water tanks;
  • gas-fired boilers;
  • oil-fired boilers; and radiators.

Also, under a Home Office scheme linked to the HEES, the grant-funded installation of the following qualifying security goods was also included in the relief:

  • locks and bolts for windows
  • locks, bolts and security chain for doors
  • spy holes; and
  • smoke alarms.

This Home Office scheme has since been withdrawn and the grant-funded installation of security goods is no longer available for the reduced rate as explained in VENSAV4500.
