Boiler scrappage scheme - get £400 off your old boiler from the Government
26/01/10
Does your boiler look like this?
If so help is at hand from the Government and you could save up to £400.
The government has published details
of the new boiler scrappage scheme. Landlords can get £400 off a new A-rated
boiler or renewable heating system, when they scrap their old G-rated boiler.
The scheme is designed to help
households cut carbon emissions, save money on fuel bills and sustain work for
the heating industry:
- £400 cash back vouchers available
from the Energy Saving Trust
- Open to all landlords, tenants and homeowners in England
- Old boiler must be the main boiler to heat the home and G-rated or worse
- Currently capped at 125,000 households
- No limit on the
number of applications landlords can make
To obtain a voucher, landlords must
get a quote and then apply through the Energy Saving Trust. Vouchers will be
valid for 12 weeks from date of issue. Landlords will need to pay for the new
boiler and installation up front and then claim the cash back by sending the
invoice and voucher to the Energy Saving Trust. Installations made before
receipt of the voucher will not be eligible.
For more details about the scheme
and to apply please visit the Energy Saving Trust website or call 0800 512 012.
The website can also help you identify if your boiler is G-rated and other
grants and discounts available.
