Yes, in the UK, there have been government schemes and grants aimed at improving energy efficiency in homes, including initiatives that offer support for boiler replacements or upgrades. The most well-known of these schemes is the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme.

The ECO scheme, administered by energy companies, obligated them to assist households in improving energy efficiency, particularly for low-income households or those in certain qualifying criteria. These schemes often cover things like boiler replacements, insulation, or heating system upgrades.

However, it's important to be cautious about advertisements or websites claiming to offer government boiler grants. Some companies might advertise using misleading language or marketing tactics to make it seem like they are offering government-funded grants when, in reality, they might be providing financing options, discounts, or incentives on boiler installations.

To ensure legitimacy:

Verify the Source: Official government grants for boilers are usually part of established schemes with specific eligibility criteria and application processes. Check directly on government websites or official energy advice services for information about legitimate schemes.

Eligibility: Government schemes often target specific households based on income, property type, existing heating systems, or geographic location. Verify if you meet the criteria before proceeding.

Authorized Providers: Genuine schemes often require the use of certified installers or contractors approved by the program. Verify that the company offering the grant is an authorized participant in the official program.

Research and Verification: Before committing to any offer claiming to provide government grants for boilers, research the program, check its authenticity, read reviews, and verify the legitimacy of the company or organization offering the grant.

Always be cautious and seek information from official sources or accredited energy advisors to ensure you are accessing genuine government-backed schemes or grants for boiler replacements or energy efficiency improvements in your home.

Hi Cheryl,
Unless your system is very old then they wouldn't offer this. Send me some pictures on watsapp and I can tell you if it is worth looking into.

Hi. You must have a non condensing boiler. Also someone in the household must be on some sort of benefits. With some companies you have to pay a contribution toward the boiler.

There are boiler grants available for vulnerable clients, mainly on benefits or registered disabled. Homeowners and tenants qualify. It is best to check with your local authority in the first instance
