Boiler Scrappage Scheme

Low Carbon Buildings Programme
If you are looking to replace your old boiler with a heat pump, biomass boiler, or solar hot water system then you may be eligible for a grant of up to £2500 towards installation. Visit the Low Carbon Buildings Programme website, www.lowcarbonbuildings.org.uk for further details.

Please note: You can apply for BOTH the Low Carbon Buildings Programme and the boiler scrappage scheme

Why isn’t this scheme running in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland? The devolution of power to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland means that their assemblies and governments will take decisions on whether they want similar schemes.

How will the Energy Saving Trust guard against fraud? The Energy Saving Trust will monitor the scheme and any detected fraud will be reported and prosecuted. The processes and procedures for monitoring the scheme are as follows: A voucher submitted for a claim must contain the customer's and the installer's signature. It must also include the Gas Safe/MCS registration number of the installer. As a requirement of law any work undertaken on a gas boiler has to be registered with Gas Safe as matter of course. Therefore, the Energy Saving Trust will check periodically voucher claims against work registered with Gas Safe.

If the work has not be registered with Gas Safe in due course this will be further investigated by the Energy Saving Trust and where necessary followed by a home visit to ensure the work has indeed been completed. In addition, a random selection of 2-3% of installations will be checked by the Energy Saving Trust through home visits to ensure a new boiler has been installed. The Energy Saving Trust will do a daily check if more than one voucher has been applied for a property. This will be done by monitoring postcode data. If multiple applications are detected the Energy Saving Trust will investigate further. The Energy Saving Trust reserves the right to conduct other checks and monitoring procedures, as necessary.
