Government’s domestic Boiler scrappage scheme

14 January 2010

Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband kick start a national scheme today to upgrade household heating systems to cut carbon, save money on fuel bills and sustain work for the heating industry.

Up to 125,000 households in England with working "G-rated" boilers can from today apply through the Energy Saving Trust for a voucher which will entitle them to £400 off the price of a new, modern "A-rated" boiler or a renewable heating system like a biomass boiler or a heat pump.

The Government's Boiler Scrappage Scheme has triggered some companies to complement, and in some cases match the offer.

The scheme will run in England only. For more information please click here Boiler-scrappage-scheme (Opens in a new window).
