BOILER SCRAPPAGE SCHEME



We now know the limits of the scheme; a bit difficult to use if the boiler breaks down during this winter as clearly there will be an ‘Admin’ delay – but if you know a boiler will need replacing it may well be worth taking advantage of the scheme.


BOILER SCRAPPAGE SCHEME

We now know the limits of the scheme; a bit difficult to use if the boiler breaks down during this winter as clearly there will be an ‘Admin’ delay – but if you know a boiler will need replacing it may well be worth taking advantage of the scheme.

The Government has published details of the new boiler scrappage scheme. Landlords and homeowners 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 down on 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 that may be available.

Please contact us if you need help in obtaining quotes and we shall action this for you.
