The Boiler Scrappage Scheme was launched to address the
amount of old boilers in houses that are inefficient and
expensive to run .
However, the boiler must be old and inefficient. And
there is a limited number of the grants.
The grant is in the form of a cashback voucher that can be
used with us, or a similar firm, against the cost of
installing a new boiler. But (another but) it has to be for
an A grade boiler system.
SPECIAL OFFER from us:
Irrespective of whether you qualify for the cashback voucher
in the scheme, we're happy to offer all our customers a £250
voucher against installation (by us) of any A grade central
heating system. We will also, of course, assist you in
applying fro your Scrappage Scheme
What are the
benefits in upgrading your boiler?
New boilers have rated efficiencies of 90 per
cent or more meaning that they use less fuel, resulting in lower
CO2 emissions and running costs. Renewable heat
technologies do not use fossil fuels, reducing CO2
emissions still further.
For example, this means by upgrading your
G-rated boiler to an A-rated one, your household heating bill
should drop by about a quarter - a saving, on average, of around
£235 a year.
Who is eligible
for the scheme?
The scheme is open to 125,000 householders in
England living in an owned or privately rented home.
Please note:
i) If you are a householder (including
tenants) under 60 you can only apply for the scheme if the
boiler you are scrapping is in working order and is the main
boiler used to heat the home.
ii) If you are a householder (including tenants) and 60 or
over you can apply for the scheme regardless of whether the
boiler you are scrapping is in working order. However, it still
needs to be the main boiler used to heat the home.
Only householders and landlords who privately
own and rent dwellings are eligible to apply for a voucher.
Boiler installers and manufacturers, local authority registered
social landlords, and housing associations are not eligible to
apply.
