Why a New Boiler Matters
If you’re still using an older, inefficient boiler—particularly a non-condensing model—you’re probably paying through the nose for your heating. According to industry estimates, boilers account for about 60% of your annual energy bills. When your boiler is old or inefficient, it has to work harder to heat your home, driving your costs skyward and pumping unnecessary carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Modern condensing boilers , on the other hand, are designed to capture and reuse heat that would otherwise escape. By upgrading, you could reduce your gas consumption, cut your monthly outgoings, and even shrink your carbon footprint. The savings can be substantial—potentially £200 to £300 per year, depending on your home’s size and your current boiler’s inefficiency. Over the typical 10-15 year lifespan of a boiler, that could mean thousands of pounds back in your pocket.
But what if you can’t afford the upfront cost? That’s where ECO4 and the Great British Insulation Scheme come in.
Common Questions & Misconceptions
“Do I really need a new boiler?” - If your existing boiler is more than 10 years old, you could be missing out on modern condensing technology that can save you hundreds each year. Plus, older boilers are more prone to breakdowns—never fun in the dead of winter.
“Isn’t a new boiler too expensive?” - That’s exactly why these grants exist. You might pay little to nothing upfront if you qualify. Even if you don’t receive full funding, partial grants can drastically reduce the cost.
“Won’t installation take forever?” - Typically, a boiler swap can be done in a day or two, especially if it’s like-for-like. If you’re changing the system more drastically, it may take a bit longer—but professional installers aim to minimise disruption.
“I rent my home. Can I still apply?” - Landlords are often responsible for property upgrades, but if you’re in a private or social rented property with a low EPC rating, your landlord may qualify for the scheme. Encourage them to use our Eligibility Checker to explore their options.
