Are The Fitters Good At What They Do?
All installers that are working on the Government Grant Scheme will be approved and PAS registered.
They will have been vetted in order to be granted access to Government funding.
Warm Front only used tried and tested installers to ensure our clients will get a first class job.
What Warranty Is Included With The Free Boiler
All boilers that are fitted as part of the Free Boiler Grant Scheme come with a 2 Year parts & Labour Warranty.
In some cases, you will get a 5 year warranty but you need to confirm this with your installer.
If you wish to extend your warranty, you can pay a small fee to extend your warranty to 5 or even 10 years.
Ask your Eco Installers for details or you can take out a private warranty with DOMESTIC & GENERAL
Extending your boiler warranty for 10 years is a brilliant investment in my opinion as boilers do breakdown and we cant live without them!
Please Note – Insulation Is Mandatory!
Free Loft & Cavity Wall Insulation Is Included. Both Are Valued at Over £5000!
Insulation Is Not Optional! You will not get a free boiler without having your home insulated first. This is a government requirement that every home is insulated up to current regs.
Insulation is usually carried out first to stop any crafty people having the boil er fitted and then become uncontactable to have the insulation fitted.
This has happened in the past and the installer has lost out on full funding
Brand New Wireless Thermostat & Programmer.
State of the art Wi Fi Thermostat & Programmers are included in the grant
Wireless boiler thermostats detect the temperature in your home and turn your heating systems on or off to keep your average temperature at its set level.
Programmers can be set to turn the heating on and off to your requirements.

Free Ventilation Package
To protect your home against mould the Government has introduced a mandatory ventilation requirement for every heating & insulation grant awarded.
You cannot opt out of this and you will not get a grant without ventilation being installed.
More on the benefits of ventilation and how it protects against mould can be found on Environment .com
What Ventilation Measures Are Installed On The Grant?
- Extractor Fans For Kitchen & Bathroom
- Trickle Vents On All Your Windows
- 10 mm under door cuts.
Thermostatic Valves For All Your Radiators.
All your radiator valves will be upgraded to Thermostatic ones ( if not already fitted )
These thermostatic radiator valves have inbuilt sensors which shut off the radiator when it reaches the preset temperature.
This will save you money on your energy bill by not producing unnecesary heat.

What Is The New Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The new Boiler Upgrade Scheme has evolved into a more generous scheme whereby you can get a £7500 grant to upgrade your old gas boiler to a Air Source Heat Pump.
You do not have to be on benefits but you will need to contribute towards the cost of a heat pump.
The expected cost is around £2500 so do shop around for the best deal.
How Did The Original Boiler Scrappage Scheme Work?
In 2009 the Government wanted to get rid of G-rated boilers and replace them with a high-efficiency condensing boilers.
The £400 boiler scrappage scheme was a program which gave applicants £400 cashback for replacing their old, in-efficient boilers.
This was run by The energy saving Trust who gave you a voucher that entitled you to cashback after your boiler was replaced.
You had 12 weeks to apply for the cashback or you would lose it. The £400 funding was given towards the cost of a brand-new A-rated boiler and not as cash.
This scheme ended in 2012
The Boiler Scrappage Scheme History & FAQS
The scheme was announced by the Chancellor Alistair Darling in a Pre-Budget Report at the end of 2009 and launched on 5 January 2010. To qualify, one had to live in England and have a working G-rated boiler.
Successful applicants received a voucher for £400 off the price of either a modern A-rated boiler or a renewable heating system (such as a biomass boiler, heat pump or micro CHP).
After a completed installation, the voucher could be redeemed from the Energy Saving Trust for its £400 monetary value.

What Are The Benefits Of The Boiler Scrappage Scheme?
With both boiler scrappage schemes, you’ll be able to get a more eco-friendly heating option as both will reduce your carbon footprint and save you money on your energy bills.
The new boiler scrappage scheme allows you to get rid of your old and inefficient boiler 100% FREE .
You could save hundreds of pounds per year with the heat pump and up to £300 per yr with a new boiler.
Both options reduce co2 emissions and will help towards the UK net zero policy by 2050.
Was The Boiler Scrappage Scheme A Success?
The scheme was taken up widely and all 125,000 vouchers were claimed within a few months, with the scheme then closing.
Some suppliers were criticised for high prices of the replacement boilers offered.
Even though some of the major power companies were offering a further £400 discount to match the government voucher, their overall price was still considerably greater than that from an independent fitter.
How Much Is A Scrap Boiler Worth?
- Boilers are normally handled by plumbers, but if you do have an old boiler that needs replacing, hang on to it and see what you can get for it from the scrap yard.
- You could receive around £50.00 for an old boiler depending on the price of copper
