Free Boiler Grant
You have probably heard about the Energy Company Obligation scheme. It is a programme run by the UK government in partnership with the top companies in the energy industry. It is designed to limit carbon emissions and reduce fuel poverty by funding initiatives such as the free boiler grant, insulation grant, and more.
The ECO programme is in its fourth phase. It requires the major energy suppliers to fund the installation of boilers in households that meet specific criteria and can’t afford to acquire and install a new boiler. While most people have already received a free boiler, some applicants only qualify for a grant that covers part of the cost.
Eligibility for a Free Boiler Grant
For an applicant to qualify for a grant, they must be receiving a pension credit guarantee such as housing benefit and pension credit savings. Another qualifying benefit is the income-related and support allowance. Under this category, you or someone in your household must be receiving income support, child benefit, or universal credit.
It’s also possible to qualify for a free boiler through child benefits such as child tax benefits. However, you must fall within Ofgem’s household income thresholds. Beyond these qualifying benefits, your existing boiler must be at least eight years old. This is because newer boilers may be more cost-effective to repair than replace.

Another eligibility requirement revolves around the applicant. According to the ECO4 terms, the property owner must be the applicant for the free boiler grant. Alternatively, the tenant must first seek permission from the property owner before undertaking a significant home improvement project like boiler installation.
Apart from the ECO4 free boiler grants, there are other grant options in the United Kingdom. As a homeowner or tenant, it’s in your best interests to find out if you are eligible for these grants. After all, qualifying for a boiler grant means you will pay less or nothing at all for your boiler installation.
