Government Free Boiler Scheme 2023
Under the Governments New ECO 4 Scheme for 2023 there are new grants to upgrade gas & oil boilers FREE OF CHARGE!

Changing an old boiler will reduce your heating bills by up to £200 per year !
Free Boiler Scheme – Back Boilers
If You Have a Baxi Bermuda Back Boiler Behind Your Fire You Can Have It Replaced For a Brand New Combi Boiler.
This back boiler removal grant has recently been introduced into Eco funding in 2022 and has proved very popular.
It is not a back boiler replacement grant as the name implies though, your back boiler will be upgraded to a wall hung boiler.
Backboilers were previously not included in the free boiler scheme due to the cost ( Over £3000) but they now can be converted to a combi boiler free of charge.
How To Apply For The Free Boiler Scheme
Are Free Boilers A Scam?
Absolutely Not! Free Boiler schemes are certainly not a scam !
I have worked on the boiler schemes over the last 7 years and found them very much to be very genuine. I estimate over 1.5 million boilers have been changed under the scheme for free or part funded.
If you qualify I will do my best to get you a free boiler within 4 weeks of application.

This help will be in the way of a £400 discount on their electricity bills.
This is paid through your energy account over six months from October 2022 to March 2023.
For people who are off the gas grid, a new support package will be launched in Feb 2023

British Gas Boiler New – Cheaper Than You Think !
As you know British Gas will not be the cheapest for replacing your boiler. Prices usually start from £3000 up to £5000 and more.
BUT they are doing a free boiler scheme for 2023
How Much Does A New Boiler Cost?
This depends on the type of installation you need. A typical combi boiler swap or regular/system boiler should cost around £2000 -£2,500.If you require a more complex conversion, your new boiler will cost you around £3,000 -£3500
How Much Money Do You Save By Replacing Your Boiler?
By replacing your old, in-efficient or broken boiler with a brand new, A-rated boiler you could reduce your energy bills by up to £300 per/year.
Example – If your current boiler is only 65% efficient, (back boilers are notoriously inefficient) this means that for every £1 you spend on your heating, 35p is quite literally being wasted.
Modern condensing boilers are 90% + efficient so you will only waste 10p for every £1 spent on heating.
