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This Home Office scheme has since been withdrawn and the grant-funded installation of security goods is no longer available for the reduced rate as explained in VENSAV4500.
