Scottish Boiler Scrappage Scheme for Households

From Tuesday 28 June 2011 onwards, households will be able to apply online or over the phone through the Scottish Government’s Home Energy Scotland organisation for a grant of £400 towards the cost of a new boiler. Up to 2,500 households in Scotland will receive £400 towards the cost of a new boiler, under the reopened boiler scrappage scheme.

The Benefits to You

An upgraded boiler can result in:

• Lower running costs
• Reduced CO2 emissions
• Lower energy bills

Households who have a SEDBUK category G rated central heating boilers and which convert less than 70 per cent of fuel into heat, will qualify for cash back on a new energy saving model. However, they must use an installer such as C Hanlon who must be registered with Gas Safe (for gas installations) and a recognised industry body such as CLE or SNIPEF and the boiler must be on the Energy Saving Trust Recommended list.
