If you’re currently receiving Working Tax Credits or other qualifying benefits, you may be eligible for an Energy Saving Grant that can assist in replacing your outdated and inefficient boiler. The ECO scheme, supporting individuals on Working Tax Credits and Universal Credit, offers funding for a new energy-efficient boiler in your home.

Both homeowners and private tenants have the opportunity to secure funding under this Government-backed scheme, catering to those in receipt of qualifying benefits, including Working Tax Credits. If you or someone in your household meets these criteria, you could receive assistance in acquiring a brand new boiler, leading to significant reductions in your energy bills.

Here’s how the Energy Saving Grant scheme works:

The ‘Big Six’ energy suppliers, comprising British Gas, EDF Energy, Eon, Npower, Scottish Power, and SSE, contribute to funding as part of the Government’s ECO Scheme, emphasizing a commitment to reducing carbon emissions. The scheme provides grants toward a new energy-efficient boiler for households in receipt of qualifying benefits with boilers over 7 years old.

To determine your eligibility for an Energy Saving Grant, consider if you meet the following conditions:

• Receive Working Tax Credits or other qualifying benefits
• Homeowner or private tenant in the UK
• Your boiler is 7+ years old

Under the scheme, we handle everything for you, from application to installation to all aftercare, with no cost to you. All our costs are covered by the scheme, meaning eligible individuals on Working Tax Credits or other benefits could secure a free boiler or one at a significantly reduced cost.

How do I know if Working Tax Credits is the benefit I receive?

If you’re unsure whether you receive Working Tax Credits, check your benefit paperwork for regular payments. For most individuals who would have previously claimed Working Tax Credits, they may now claim under Universal Credit or Pension Credit if they are state pension age or over, making them likely eligible for a boiler grant.

A new boiler offers numerous benefits, including a warmer home and significant cost savings. An A-rated boiler operates at a much-improved energy efficiency level (usually 90%+), potentially saving you around £300 on energy bills annually. Additionally, the increased efficiency contributes to a reduction in your household’s carbon footprint, aligning with government targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
