Boiler grants – background
The Energy Companies Obligation provides grant funding for replacement boilers and other home energy-efficiency products. The grant scheme is made up of three individual energy-efficiency grant schemes – ECO Boiler Grants Guide
Boiler grants are available via the Government-backed Energy Companies Obligation (ECO). The ECO free boiler grant scheme is aimed to address fuel poverty in vulnerable sections of society across the UK. In addition the boiler grant scheme is designed to reduce levels of carbon emissions being released into the environment by providing energy-efficient gas condensing boilers which use less energy to heat your home and hot water.
Energy Efficient Boilers
Installing an energy-efficient, gas condensing boiler is one of the most effective ways ways to cut down energy consumption in the home. Up to 60% of your heating bill is spent on powering your boiler and central heating system.
Older boilers are often less energy-efficient and cost more to heat. All new boilers installed via the ECO boiler grant scheme are gas condensing boilers which have been A Graded by SEDBUK, the UK’s boiler energy rating authority.
