The thought of installing or replacing a boiler can often be financially daunting, with costs ranging from £1,000 to £7,000 depending on the model and required expertise.

With our help you be sure of a seamless experienced and a chance to make informed choices.

Boiler Grants and Cost Reductions
Various avenues, such as the Energy Companies Obligations scheme (ECO), rental schemes, and specific government boiler schemes, exist to reduce the initial expenses associated with boiler installations. However, eligibility for these schemes varies, and opting for a solution that covers upfront costs requires you to work with an expert to get the maximum benefits from the free boiler program.
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, launched in 2013 across England, Scotland, and Wales, requires energy suppliers to aid households in reducing carbon emissions and tackling fuel poverty. While the focus often centres on cavity wall and loft insulation, households can also receive support for replacing old, inefficient boilers or heating systems.
Replacement boilers can potentially be subsidised or provided for free under this scheme. Two prominent government initiatives cater to boiler upgrades;
Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)
Introduced in October 2021 and extended through 2028, BUS provides households up to £5,000 towards replacing existing gas or oil boilers with heat pumps or biomass boilers. Notably, hybrid systems, combining heat pumps with backup gas boilers, are not eligible for this grant. Consult our experts to determine whether or not you are eligible for such grants.
Boiler Scrappage Scheme
Previously launched in 2009 to encourage households to shift to more efficient boilers, this scheme is now discontinued. Although some suppliers may offer discounts on new boiler installations for scrapping older efficient boilers, these are not government schemes. Thus, it's advisable to seek multiple quotes, ensuring you're not overpaying even with discounts.
