This initiative is a great move by the Government in order to offer help as well as reduce the Gas & electricity consumption which touches a new high during the winter months. A boiler becomes a basic necessity during winter months and thus the gas and electricity expense also increases and people and households with lower income group unnecessarily land up paying huge bills and get their other needs effected. This way through offering them free boilers there gas and electricity consumption can be regulated and they can get a huge relief of up to £ 250 through these new A rated boilers.

Anyone who has a boiler which is 8 years old and not condensing may qualify under this boiler scheme however there are other criteria’s too which one may check on this website. Another major eligibility criteria is that if you receive income-related benefits which includes child tax credits, working tax credits, income support, ESA, JSA, pension credit in that case you may qualify for a 100% free, grant funded boiler. Any home owner, private tenant or landlord of a property can apply for this free boiler under UK Government Eco scheme. So once you have checked that you qualify for this free boiler and have applied for it then it takes around 3-4 weeks post your property survey done in general to get this free boiler installed at your home. You also need to ensure that all the required paper work is done and submitted to the department as this is a Government boiler scheme and it has to go through the required process.

Anyone who is a private household or home owner, private tenant and even landlords can apply for this free boiler. If you are staying in any housing association or society in that case you might not be able to avail this benefit of free boiler as it is the responsibility of your association to maintain the heating system in your home. Even people staying in small flats also do not get a large amount of funding for this installation of free boiler as these boiler companies do not accept these job as it is not financially viable for them. Even people who do not have any boiler in their home cannot benefit under this scheme. As currently it is only available for households who already have some kind of boiler and heating arrangement. The cost of installing it a new home which does not have a boiler or a heating system would require a large amount of funding which is not available under this scheme.

This is great scheme to get free boiler for landlords and one may check all the details prior to making an application.
