Free Boiler Grants Essex

As you know, the government is on course to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2050, and one of the ways in which it is doing this is by encouraging people to replace old, out-of-date boilers used for heating. Older boilers are by no means as efficient as the very latest condensing boilers. Not only does this mean that they add more CO2 to the atmosphere, but they also hit homeowners in the pocket. But because a condensing boiler uses less fuel, it stands to reason that it costs less to run.

At GetAFreeBoiler we participate in the free boiler scheme in Essex which is backed by the government. So far, we have helped well over 1,000 homeowners and tenants get a new boiler and / or proper insulation for their homes with the government’s eco scheme in Essex.

The eligibility for a free boiler grant will depend on some factors. Firstly, a permanent resident of the property must be receiving one of the following benefits to qualify for residency, such as:

• The Child Tax Credit
• Benefits for children (with a qualifying household income)
• Tax credit for working
• Credit for pensions
• Allowance for job seekers
• The Universal Credit system
• Benefits such as employment and support allowances
• Benefits related to housing
• Or a low income household or someone whom resides in the property with a health condition

You can also obtain oil boiler grants in Essex if you are a landlord of a property where one of the permanent residents qualifies for a free boiler under the scheme.

Two reasons why you should apply today: first, we do not know for how long the government is going to be offering free boilers and insulation, so you need to get yours as soon as possible. Second, of course, if you are the resident and are paying for heating, then the sooner you start, the sooner you will save money on your heating. Winter is approaching, so contact us today.
