Is your boiler failing?
This time of year any heating engineer will tell you how busy he is due to our boilers working overtime to keep our homes warm.
If your boiler breaks down we all know the costs involved of repairing or even replacing it in some cases. Did you know you may be able to reduce 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 without doubt 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, inefficient boilers replaced free of charge or have the cost to replace heavily subsidised.
This scheme was set up 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.
