If you are a homeowner in Dudley, you may be eligible to replace your inefficient or broken boiler for free through the ECO 4 scheme. This initiative has been designed to help families needing to improve their homes' energy efficiency by installing modern, efficient boilers and making necessary insulation upgrades.
There are certain qualifications you need to meet to be eligible for this scheme.
Firstly, you must be a homeowner, and your current boiler needs to be non-condensing. You must receive at least one benefit list below or qualify through LA Flex (for homes without benefits).
Boilers installed under the ECO 4 scheme are efficient condensing models and come with a timer, a room thermostat, and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) for all radiators, not in the room with the thermostat. After installation, a hydraulic balancing will be performed to ensure optimal operation of your central heating system.
Another important factor in Eligibility for this scheme is your home's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. Homes rated E, F or G are considered.
By upgrading your boiler and improving your home's insulation, you can reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint while addressing the serious issue of fuel poverty. If you're a homeowner in the West Midlands struggling with an inefficient boiler, we encourage you to explore this opportunity to increase your home's energy efficiency.
To be considered for the Government's Eco4 Grants, households in Dudley must receive one of the following benefits:
- Employment and Support Allowance
- Jobseekers Allowance
- Universal Credit
- Income Support
- Child Benefits
- Housing Benefit
- Child Tax Credits
- Working Tax Credits
- Pension Credits
The government's ECO scheme provides free boilers only to those who have an existing non-condensing boiler and are on Qualifying benefits or LA Flex (Council Grants). It's not a universal offering available to everyone.
Pensioners in Dudley may be eligible for a new boiler grant if they receive Pension Credit guarantee credit, Pension Credit savings credit, or if they meet the Flex criteria.
Generally, it takes around 4-6 weeks to receive a boiler grant through the ECO scheme in Dudley. However, this depends on meeting the Eligibility criteria, including Qualifying benefits or LA Flex (Council Grants), having an existing non-condensing boiler, and a property with an EPC rating of G, F, or E.
