A few years the UK government in collaboration with the largest energy companies, announced a new scheme to help households save money by installing an energy efficient central heating system. Since 2013, eligible homes have been able to benefit from the ECO boiler scheme. The scheme offers would cover the cost of upfront boiler acquisition and installation or the conversion of existing boilers to an environmentally friendly one.

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Grants
The ECO grants or free boiler grants are a type of financial assistance for the installation of a new boiler or boiler replacement in the United Kingdom. This is offered by the national government in collaboration with the largest energy companies in the UK. The primary objective of these grants is to assist eligible households who are otherwise unable to afford the acquisition and installation of more energy efficient boilers.
Whilst these may not be entirely free in some cases, they will usually include a low value payment which is often much lower than what would normally be expected to pay an installer. These ECO grants allow you to save on your energy costs without having to sacrifice any comfort. Therefore, it’s worth finding out if your household is eligible for a free boiler Nelson. At Efficient Boiler Repair, we have been helping our customers submit applications for a free boiler Nelson as well as handle installations and maintenance of their boilers and central heating systems.

This is because such boilers are considered less efficient compared to more recent boiler models. Otherwise, they will be considered cost effective to service the boilers and repair them, particularly if the boiler was installed recently.
