Central heating boiler scrappage

If you want to replace your inefficient boiler, you can apply for a voucher towards the cost.

Scotland has one of the most ambitious CO2 emission reduction targets in the world. The installation of an efficient heating system is one effective way of reducing your household energy bills and CO2 emissions. There are currently an estimated 250,000 homes in Scotland that have boilers of the least efficient type (efficiency of less than 70%).

To help address this, the Scottish Government has announced funding for the boiler scrappage scheme for owner occupiers in Scotland. Scrappage schemes work by helping to meet the cost of replacing inefficient equipment with new more efficient alternatives.

The Energy Saving Scotland Boiler Scrappage Scheme builds upon its earlier success from its launch in May 2010. It will offer owner occupiers a voucher entitling them to a £400 subsidy from the Scottish Government towards the cost of upgrading inefficient boilers with an energy efficient one.

Should you choose to replace your inefficient boiler with a VAILANT boiler, we can increase the scrappage value to £500! We can also offer a FIVE YEAR GUARANTEE on the boiler installation which we will increase to SEVEN YEARS if installed before JULY 2012.

Scottish Boiler Scrappage Scheme
for landlords

If you're a landlord you might be eligible to claim £400 off the cost of a new boiler.

This scheme has been launched by the Scottish Government to offer incentives for landlords to provide their tenants with better boilers. Not only does this benefit the tenant but landlords could save over £200 a year per tenant as a more efficient boiler would reduce heating costs.

Apply for the scrappage scheme by calling the Scottish Governments Home Energy Hotline on 0800 512 012.
