Boiler scrappage scheme

The new boiler scrappage scheme details were unvieled in January 2010.  Under the scheme homeowners in Engand can claim £400 towards the purchase and installation of a new SEDBUK Band A boiler and / or low or zero carbon appliance.

All the details below will tell you which appliances are covered by the grant and how to apply.

Boiler scrappage schemes have now been extended to both Scotland and Wales.  The Scottish Parliament has agreed to fund their own boiler scrappage scheme in their recent budget announcement. 

The scheme in Wales is aimed at people over 60, and is a grant of £500 towards the costs of a new boiler. As soon we have full details of both schemes we'll post them here. To be kept up to date, register for our newsletter updates.
