Boiler Grants in Doncaster
If you are a low-income homeowner in South Yorkshire, you may be eligible for the ECO 4 Boiler Grants scheme. This scheme aims to help families improve the energy efficiency of their homes by installing more efficient boilers and upgrading or insulating their homes.
The ECO 4 scheme allows eligible homeowners to replace their old, inefficient boilers for free. This is a great opportunity for those struggling to keep up with their energy bills, as a more efficient boiler can significantly save energy costs.
To qualify for a new boiler on the ECO 4 scheme, there are a few criteria that you must meet:
- You must be the homeowner.
- Your current boiler must be broken or inefficient. If your boiler is still working but not very efficient, you may still be eligible for a grant.
- You need to receive at least one benefit, such as Income Support or Housing Benefit. This ensures that the scheme is targeted at those who need it most.
All newly installed boilers under the ECO 4 scheme must be efficient, i.e. condensing, and must include a timer, a room thermostat, and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) on all radiators outside the room containing the thermostat. Installers must also carry out hydraulic balancing following the boiler installation to ensure that the central heating system works efficiently and effectively.
If your property is heated by an inefficient heating system, such as a non-condensing boiler, it can be upgraded to an efficient boiler. This can significantly save energy costs and help reduce your carbon footprint.
