If your boiler breaks down, we all know the costs involved of repairing or even replacing it in some cases can be very expensive. Did you know you may be able to reduce these costs by claiming a grant from the Government or even a replacement free of charge?
Boiler grants, eco-schemes, rental schemes and even boilers that claim to repay you in savings can all help you to avoid the initial cost. Not everybody is eligible for these schemes, but it is worth checking as a great deal of money can be saved.
Under the Government’s Energy Companies Obligation (ECO) scheme, some homeowners and private tenants can get their old and inefficient boilers replaced free of charge or have the cost to replace heavily subsidised.
This scheme was set up a few years ago to assist low-income families improve the efficiency of their homes thus reducing the carbon footprint. If you meet the criteria and your boiler is more than 8 years old, you should qualify. Government funding is limited, and the benefits criteria are always strictly adhered to.
Most homeowners are completely unaware of the savings a new condensing boiler can make on the annual budget. Experts estimate if the home is correctly insulated a new efficient condensing boiler can save as much as £485 per year. With the cost of fuel seemingly increase monthly efficiency within the home is the “name of the game”.
