Frequently asked questions

Can I get a free boiler in your area?

Free boiler replacements are available for eligible households through energy company obligations and government schemes. To qualify, you typically need to receive a means-tested benefit such as Universal Credit, Pension Credit, or Income Support, and have an old or broken boiler. Submit the form to check whether your your area household qualifies.

What schemes fund free boilers?

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme requires large energy suppliers to fund heating and insulation improvements for low-income households. The Warm Homes Plan also funds heating upgrades including boiler replacements for eligible properties. Eligibility depends on your household circumstances and property type.

What does free mean in practice?

Free means the boiler and installation are fully funded for qualifying households, so there is no cost to you. Not every applicant will receive a fully free boiler; for some households there may be a contribution depending on the scheme and installer. The installer will confirm exactly what is covered in writing before any work begins.

What type of boiler will I receive?

For gas-connected properties, a new A-rated condensing gas boiler is the most common replacement. For off-gas-grid homes or properties suitable for low-carbon upgrades, an air source heat pump may be offered instead. The installer will confirm what is appropriate for your your area property.

Is my broken boiler eligible for a free replacement?

Yes. A broken or non-functioning boiler can increase your priority under the scheme, particularly if your household also receives a qualifying benefit. Submit the form as soon as possible and confirm that your boiler is broken. Many installers prioritise households with no working heating.

Is the eligibility check free?

Yes. The form is free and takes about 60 seconds. If you pre-qualify, an accredited installer in your area will contact you to arrange a free survey and confirm what funding is available.
