What are the benefits of the free boiler grant scheme?
Research has shown that boiler models that become five or more years old, tend to provide only 65% of their full energy efficiency. With a new A-rated boiler, your boiler would be performing at 90% of its efficiency. So a new A-rated boiler and underfloor insulation will help you to reduce your energy bills to around £250 to £300 annually.
If under any unfortunate circumstances, your old boiler breaks down, repair can cost up to £300-500 and no guarantee is provided. Replacing a boiler can cost up to a massive amount of up to £2000. Under the ECO3 scheme, your new A-rated boiler and underfloor insulation will be installed 100 % free and it will be covered by a 2-year minimum warranty provided by the manufacturer. This can be further extended up to 10 years with manufacturer as well with a small annual fee.
