Replacement Boiler Grants

Boiler Grants in Kilmarnock

The ECO 4 Boiler Grants scheme is a government initiative designed to assist low-income households in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, in enhancing the energy efficiency of their homes. This scheme presents eligible homeowners with the opportunity to replace their antiquated, inefficient boilers free of charge while simultaneously upgrading or insulating their homes to further augment energy efficiency.

Qualifications for Boiler Grants

  • Homeowners residing in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, are eligible for a new boiler under the ECO 4 scheme if their existing boiler is dysfunctional or demonstrably inefficient.
  • Applicants must be in receipt of at least one benefit, such as Income Support or Housing Benefit.

Efficient Boiler Requirements

All newly installed boilers under the ECO 4 scheme must be demonstrably efficient, mandating that they are condensing boilers. They must also incorporate the following:

  • A timer
  • A room thermostat
  • Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) on all radiators situated outside the room containing the thermostat

These requirements ensure that the heating system operates at peak efficiency, mitigating energy waste and reducing energy bills for homeowners.

Hydraulic Balancing

Following the installation of a boiler to a wet central heating system, installers are obligated to carry out hydraulic balancing. This crucial step ensures that the central heating system is balanced and operating efficiently. An imbalanced heating system can lead to uneven heat distribution and an unwelcome increase in energy bills.

Upgrading Heating Systems

Homeowners with inefficient heating systems, such as non-condensing boilers, are eligible to upgrade to efficient boilers under the ECO 4 scheme. This presents a valuable opportunity to enhance the energy efficiency of their homes, reducing their carbon footprint and achieving long-term savings on energy bills.
