Free Boiler Grant

The government offers free boiler grants under the ECO4 scheme. Homeowners and private tenants can qualify for these grants.
If you’re a homeowner, private tenant, or pensioner receiving benefits from the UK Government, you may qualify to have your old and inefficient boiler replaced under the ECO4 Scheme. The core purpose of this scheme is to enhance energy efficiency in households and reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, if your boiler is older than 2005 and your household’s EPC rating is D or below, you are eligible for a free boiler grant. Once you qualify, our approved boiler installer will contact you to conduct a quick survey of your home. If the survey is positive, we’ll install a brand-new boiler at your property. Upgrade your old boiler today to save money and help the Earth.

How to qualify for a Free Boiler Grant?

In order to apply for free boiler grants, you must be a recipient of income-related government benefits. Additionally, your gas boiler needs to be older than 2005.

Is your EPC rating low?

Secure a Free Boiler Upgrade and Reduce Your Energy Expenses!

Typically, your eligibility for a free boiler grant hinges on your EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating. If your house has an EPC rating below D, you’re fully entitled to a free boiler grant. This rating indicates your home’s energy efficiency

EPC Rating
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is like an energy label for your home, grading it on a scale from A (highly efficient) to G (inefficient). The lower your EPC rating, the more energy your home wastes and the higher your bills.
To qualify for a free boiler grant under ECO4, your property must have an existing EPC rating of D (lower), E, F, or G. This means homes already struggling with energy inefficiency are prioritized.
An EPC is valid for 10 years and is required whenever a property is:
->Built
->Sold
->Rented
But even if you’re not selling your home, it’s worth having a look at your property’s EPC to find out what you can do to reduce your energy bills and carbon emissions.

This program aligns with broader objectives to enhance energy efficiency, lower energy costs, and combat fuel poverty.
