2. Have a total gross annual household income of less than £23,000.
Individuals can now apply to the scheme through the Northern Ireland Energy Advice Service:
• Free phone number – 0800 111 44 55
• Website – The Housing Executive - Affordable Warmth Scheme (nihe.gov.uk)
• E-mail – nienergyadvice@nihe.gov.uk
The NI Energy Advice Line Service provides free, comprehensive advice and support on how to save energy in the home and eligibility for help to improve energy efficiency.
