The Department provides assistance towards heating costs through the National Fuel Allowance Scheme each year. In 2014 this was paid to over 408,000 eligible households at a cost of approx. €218 million.

The Department does not have a grant scheme that provides for the purchase of solid fuel stoves or ranges.
