Can I Get My Boiler Replaced for Free?

Yes, under the ECO4 scheme, eligible households can receive a free boiler replacement. You typically need to be a homeowner or private tenant with landlord permission, have a boiler that's at least 8 years old, and meet certain income or benefit criteria.

What is the ECO4 Boiler Scheme?

The ECO4 scheme is a UK government-backed initiative that funds energy-saving upgrades for low-income households. It offers free boiler replacements to homeowners and private tenants with inefficient systems and EPC ratings of D or lower.

Am I Entitled to a Replacement Boiler?

You may qualify if you own your home or are a private tenant with landlord consent, have an inefficient boiler over 8 years old, and meet income or benefit eligibility criteria.

How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Boiler?

Without grants, replacing a boiler costs between £2,000 and £4,500. Under ECO4, eligible households can receive a boiler replacement for free.

Is It Worth Replacing a 20-Year-Old Boiler?

Yes. Older boilers operate at ~65% efficiency, while new A-rated boilers exceed 90% efficiency. Replacing a 20-year-old boiler can save up to £300 annually on energy bills.

Can You Get a Free Boiler If You Are Over 60?

Yes, if you are over 60 and receive Pension Credit or Working Tax Credit, you may qualify for a free boiler under ECO4.

Can I Get a Free Boiler If I'm Not on Benefits?

Yes, households with an income below £31,000 or a qualifying health condition may still be eligible under ECO4 even without benefits.

Can Pensioners Get Help to Buy a New Boiler?

Yes, pensioners on qualifying benefits like Pension Credit can access free boiler grants under ECO4. Other factors such as health conditions and low income may also apply.

Does PIP Qualify for a Free Boiler?

No, PIP alone doesn’t qualify. However, if you meet other conditions like low household income or receive other qualifying benefits, you may still be eligible.

Can I Get a New Boiler If I'm Disabled?

Yes, if you receive specific disability-related benefits (excluding PIP) or your household income is below £31,000. Your boiler must also be inefficient or old, and you must meet other ECO4 criteria.

What is a Boiler & Why Does it Matter?

A boiler is the heart of your home’s central heating and hot water system. It heats water by burning gas and distributes it through radiators and taps throughout the property.

Modern A-rated condensing boilers are up to 90% efficient — meaning 90p of every £1 spent on gas goes directly into heating your home. Older boilers can be as low as 60% efficient, wasting significant energy and money every year.

If your boiler is over 10–15 years old, frequently breaking down, making unusual noises or your energy bills are rising — it is likely time for a replacement.

⚠ Signs you need a new boiler

Which Boiler Type is Right for You?

Not sure which boiler is right for your home? Here’s a clear breakdown of the three main types to help you decide.

Combi Boiler

The most popular choice for UK homes. A combi boiler provides both central heating and instant hot water on demand — no need for a separate hot water cylinder or cold water tank.

BEST FOR

System Boiler

A system boiler works with a hot water cylinder to store a large volume of hot water. Ideal for homes with multiple bathrooms and high hot water demand.

BEST FOR

Regular Boiler

Also known as a conventional or heat-only boiler. Works with both a hot water cylinder and a cold water storage tank. Best suited for replacing older heating systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our boiler services and finance options.

How does the 0% interest-free finance work?

We offer 0% APR finance on 12, 24, and 36 month terms. This means you pay the exact cost of the boiler and installation split into equal monthly payments with no interest added. For example, a £2,500 boiler on a 36-month plan would be just £69.44 per month.

What happens after the 3-year interest-free period?

For terms longer than 36 months (48 and 60 months), a representative APR of 9.9% applies. We always recommend choosing the shortest term you can comfortably afford to minimise total cost.

Will applying for finance affect my credit score?

The initial application only requires a soft credit check, which does not appear on your credit file or affect your score. A full credit check is only performed once you formally accept a finance agreement.

How long does a boiler installation take?

A straightforward like-for-like boiler replacement typically takes 1 day. If the boiler is being relocated or the system requires significant modification, it may take 2–3 days. We'll confirm the timeline during your survey.

Are you Gas Safe registered?

Yes, all our engineers are Gas Safe registered and fully qualified. We hold all necessary certifications and our registration can be verified on the official Gas Safe Register website.

What warranty do I get with a new boiler?

Depending on the boiler model, you'll receive between 5 and 12 years manufacturer warranty. We also offer extended warranty packages for additional peace of mind.
