It’s sometimes referred to as ‘the free boiler scheme’ but the official title is the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Scheme. It’s officially led by the Government which has instructed the Big Six energy companies such as; British Gas, EDF and SSE to help low income and vulnerable households replace their inefficient or broken boilers and/or improve insulation measures.

The ECO scheme is now its fourth phase (or ECO4), so please enquire about your funding before it’s too late.

If you qualify, the ECO4 scheme can help you obtain many number of energy efficiency measures – including boiler replacement, external wall insulation, cavity wall insulation, etc – at a highly discounted rate or even COMPLETELY FREE.

There is a standard two-year warranty on your newly installed boiler – no matter what make you go for (free or contributed). If you choose to extend the warranty all you need to do is ring the supplier directly and at a nominal cost, you can extend that warranty to five years.

There are mainly just two areas in which a small contribution will be asked of you;
If you opt to have a Worcester Bosch or Vaillant boiler, instead of the chosen Ideal Logics that we install, then a small contribution will be discussed. This is because a Worcester Bosch or Vaillant are so much more expensive than the conventional Ideals and the funding for your household gets swallowed by this cost alone.

If the boiler in your household is not up to gas safe safety regulations, then the new boiler will have to pass all the checklist before it is signed off. We find that some houses need a new ‘gas run’ from the gas meter to the boiler or the piping needs to be expanded from 15mm to 22mm – this is mainly identified on boilers over 10 years old. Each house is different, and each contribution will be discussed directly with the customer.
