To reduce both high carbon emissions and home energy bills, the boiler upgrade scheme and grant replaces old boilers. If your household is vulnerable to inefficient boilers, using the eco grant in Blackburn is the best solution. This can cover most or all of the cost of installing a new boiler. The scheme for boilers is currently available across England and Wales, with alternative schemes available in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
By using the boiler upgrade scheme, the UK government can remove old boilers and help reduce carbon emissions to reach sustainability targets. The boiler grant is part of the wider ECO scheme, which also includes insulation for your home. To take advantage of the scheme, you must meet the criteria, showing you need support with energy bills and installation costs. The criteria you need to meet must include one of the following:
- Child Benefit
- Pension Guarantee Credit
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
- Income Support
- Tax Credits (Child Tax Credits and Working Tax Credits)
- Universal Credit
- Housing benefit
- Pension credit saving credit
When going through the criteria, we are happy to provide full advice and consultation. We discuss the exact specifications and ensure you meet the necessary criteria for the boiler grant, reducing your cost as much as possible. You can apply online through Discover Eco, although criteria will also vary for the number of claimants in your household. Ultimately, we look to support as many vulnerable households as possible.
Once your application is final, we work with you to upgrade your existing boiler system. Firstly, we review your current boiler and heating system to check it is suitable for the upgrade. We use only the highest quality suppliers and new boilers or heat pump systems. Every heating system we install has an ‘A’ rating, assuring you of the highest possible efficiency. We complete full safety checks, installing correctly to reduce carbon emissions and keep efficiency as high as possible.
