Boiler Grant

If your boiler is over 7 years old or inefficient, you may be eligible for a free replacement through government grant schemes. At Blue Fox Energy and Electrical Services Ltd, we help homeowners access boiler grants that can save thousands of pounds whilst dramatically reducing heating bills and improving home comfort.

‍

What are Boiler Grants?

Boiler grants are government-funded schemes designed to help eligible households replace old, inefficient boilers with modern, energy-efficient models at no cost. These grants are part of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, which requires energy suppliers to fund energy efficiency improvements for qualifying households.

‍

Benefit Recipients: Households receiving qualifying benefits including Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Child Tax Credit, and Working Tax Credit.

Low-Income Households: Families with combined household income under £31,000 may qualify depending on circumstances and property efficiency.

Vulnerable Households: Priority given to homes with elderly residents, young children, or occupants with health conditions affected by cold homes.

Inefficient Properties: Properties with EPC ratings of E, F, or G are prioritised for grant funding.

Old Boiler Systems: Boilers over 7 years old or systems that are inefficient, unreliable, or expensive to run.
