The provision of a significant grant for a free boiler is made possible through the Government’s ECO4 scheme. Major energy companies, including British Gas, EON, SSE, NPower, EDF Energy, and Scottish Power, are obligated to fund initiatives under this scheme, targeting the reduction of fuel poverty and helping households lower their carbon emissions. This funding facilitates the installation of new, energy-efficient heating systems in homes that stand to benefit the most. Eligible individuals can receive a new boiler and central heating system without incurring any costs.

The excitement surrounding the installation of your new boiler is understandable, especially if your current one is failing. Typically, the installation process and activation of your new boiler take between 2-3 weeks from the date of your application, with the possibility of even quicker turnaround in some cases. However, if external services such as a new gas connection are required, the process may extend slightly. It’s important to note that the scheme does not cover the cost of a new gas connection, although alternative funding options may be available for this purpose.

Homeowners residing in their property with boilers older than 6 years and receiving one or more qualifying benefits are eligible to apply. Qualifying benefits include Universal Credit, Pension Credit, ESA, JSA, Income Support, Working Tax Credits, Child Tax Credits, AFIP, Attendance Allowance, Carer’s Allowance, DLA, PIP, War Pensions Mobility Supplement, Severe Disablement Allowance, Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit, Constant Attendance Allowance, or Child Benefits.

The funding for ECO is sourced from energy suppliers, with those obligated under the scheme determining the subsidy allocated to each consumer. The annual budget for ECO is approximately £1.3 billion. Specifically, the ECO Affordable Warmth and Carbon Saving Community obligations contribute around £540 million per year to support households, while the ECO Carbon Saving Obligation amounts to around £760 million annually.

The delivery of ECO will be facilitated either directly by energy suppliers to customers or through collaborative efforts of organizations operating under pre-approved arrangements, such as those coordinated by UK Energy Saving Experts.

For cavity wall insulation, a professional installer drills small holes (approximately 22mm) at intervals of around 1m in the exterior wall. Special equipment is then used to blow insulation into the cavity. Once completed, the installer fills the holes in the brickwork, leaving them inconspicuous. This is not a DIY job, and a professional can typically complete the installation in about two hours for an average house with easily accessible walls, without causing any mess.

The installation time for cavity insulation is approximately 2 to 2.5 hours for a semi-detached or a bungalow, and roughly half a day for a standard detached property.

No. If the property has no damp problems before the installation of cavity wall insulation, it will certainly not have any afterwards. Our site survey visit will check to ensure that the property is suitable.
