About CHiL
Cosy Homes in Lancashire is not taking applications at the moment; it plans to send forms in March 2027. We can explain its conditions and whether your district is covered, but we cannot submit or speed up an application.
What helps us answer
The district matters most, because routes and figures differ across the 14 councils. After that: what heats the home now, whether there is a gas meter, whether it is terraced, semi-detached or detached, and whether you own it, rent it or let it.
Questions from each part of the county
East Lancashire: most questions are about terraces: whether the back yard or the rear wall can take a unit, how the sound calculation works with a neighbour's kitchen window a few metres away, and where a cylinder could go in a house with a combi boiler.
The Fylde coast: Blackpool households often ask about replacing storage heaters, and Fylde households about the Warm Homes route, which we cannot confirm for Fylde. Ask Fylde Council about that one; we can still explain the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
Lancaster and the Ribble Valley: oil and LPG questions, the higher grant band and its date, ground source on larger plots, and listed farmhouses and halls.
Preston, Chorley, South Ribble and West Lancashire: anything from a suburban gas semi to a rural LPG bungalow; the district finder is the place to start before you write.
What we cannot do
We cannot survey a home, price a heat pump, recommend or introduce an installer, or submit or chase an application to Cosy Homes in Lancashire or the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. When a question needs one of those, we say who does it: an MCS certified installer for a survey and quote, CHiL for its own scheme, and the council for planning.
