Government targets CO2 reductions with a new grant scheme
With ambitious CO2 reduction targets to meet, the Government has announced a new incentive scheme targeted at homes with older, inefficient boilers. The scheme which launched this week, aims to encourage home owners to reduce their CO2 emissions by offering a grant of up to £400 towards the cost of replacing an old G-Rated boiler with a new, high efficiency A-Rated boiler.
What is this new scheme?
Named the ‘Boiler Scrappage Scheme’, any home owner or private landlord can apply for a grant as long as they can confirm that:
A) their boiler is the main heating system at the property
B) the boiler is in working order (unless the applicant is over the age of 60)
C) the boiler is G-Rated, or worse
Once the above criteria has been confirmed, the applicant would then need to arrange for a reputable boiler installation company to provide a competitive quote for replacing the existing boiler with a more efficient A-Rated boiler.
Should an application be accepted by ACT ON CO2, vouchers of up to £400 will be sent to the applicant, whereby the applicant would need to instruct the provider of the quote to go ahead and replace the boiler. The applicant must then pay the invoice in full before sending a copy of the invoice and receipt, along with their voucher, to have the £400 reimbursed.
