Almost all homes in England have a heating system supplying hot water continuously, thus keeping the occupants warm and comfortable. Many families would have installed this requirement years ago and continue using their heating systems without being bothered to check their current EPC rating. It is a rating based on the property's energy consumption and how much it loses during the use of the appliances. The highest rating is A, which shows that the heating system is efficient and energy loss is minimum and can be less than 10 percent. The lowest rating is G, wherein there is a loss of energy, up to 30 percent, while the heating system is on. Switching over to an energy-efficient heating system is vital to save operating costs. And doing it through the government boiler scheme will benefit you.
Scheme Beneficial for All
Yes, the UK government offers a scheme to prompt citizens to help make the switchover easy. Of course, not everyone is eligible for this boiler scrappage scheme. Those who qualify will get a grant of up to £400 to install a new heating system that is advanced and more efficient than the older versions. This grant will not cover the entire cost of the installation. But getting help for even a part of the expense of installing a new one is a blessing. Once done, it will help reduce your heating bills and increase your EPC rating. In the long run, you can recover the cost of the new installation and help the government reduce the carbon footprint in the process. It is a win-win situation for everyone.
Checking Eligibility Criteria Avail Benefits
Indeed, the government is helping everyone who qualifies for it in England, Wales, and North Ireland to replace the old inefficient boiler. Though the scheme is not applicable in Scotland, the government provides interest-free loans. It will help people with poor finances to become more energy efficient. Every citizen should check if they qualify and ought to apply for the same. It is necessary to receive written approval for the grant from the housing executive before replacing your old heating system. There are precautions to be followed before installation, and it should take place through a firm accredited by relevant trade bodies. For a switch over to gas from fossil fuel, the installer should be gas safe registered.
