New Boiler Grants
New Boiler Grants
Replacing an old, inefficient boiler can be costly, but New Boiler Grants make it affordable for eligible households. Offered under ECO4 Schemes, these grants provide financial support to help install energy-efficient boilers, reducing heating costs and improving home comfort.
A new boiler grant is part of the UK’s Energy Company Obligation (ECO) initiative, which helps low-income households access modern, energy-efficient heating systems. These grants cover all or part of the cost of a replacement boiler, making it easier to upgrade your home without financial strain. Below, we’ll cover the benefits, eligibility requirements, and application process for these grants.
ECO4 Grant Eligibility
Who is Eligible for External Wall Insulation Grants?
Eligibility for boiler grants in the UK is determined by several factors aimed at supporting households in need of energy-efficient heating solutions. These grants are part of government initiatives to reduce energy consumption and tackle fuel poverty. The primary objective is to assist those who may struggle to afford a new boiler, particularly in cases where their current system is inefficient or outdated.
By improving home heating systems, these grants also contribute to reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability.
- Income or Benefits: Designed for low-income households or those receiving government support.

FAQ: New Boiler Grants
Eligibility typically depends on factors like household income, receipt of certain government benefits (e.g., Universal Credit, Pension Credit), and your property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. Some grants are also tailored for older boilers over 8 years old to improve energy efficiency.
While many grants cover the full cost of a new boiler, others may require a partial contribution based on your specific circumstances, including the supplier’s terms and the type of grant you qualify for.
Start by verifying your eligibility through LA Energy Solutions provider or your local council. Once confirmed, you’ll typically need to submit proof of income, boiler details, and EPC data. After approval, installation can be arranged within a few days.
