These are estimated figures based on installing a new A-rated condensing boiler with a programmer, room thermostat and thermostatic radiator controls (TRVs) in a gas-heated home from an older F-rated boiler with a programmer and room thermostat. Savings will vary depending on the size and thermal performance of your home.
Figures are based on fuel prices as of October 2022.
What are the benefits of a new boiler with improved energy efficiency?
Lower energy bills
The Wirral Council boiler grants can help you reduce your energy bills. As mentioned above, you could save hundreds of pounds every year with a new boiler as it massively improves a home’s energy efficiency.
An older boiler is not as efficient as a new one, so it requires more energy to heat your home, adding more to your monthly bills.
Quiet operation
If your old boiler was quite loud when it fired up, you’ll be pleased to know new boilers are much quieter and almost silent in many cases.
So, if your boiler is situated in a bedroom, it won’t wake anybody up when you’ve got the central heating system on a timer.
Reduce heat loss
A new boiler in Wirral can help to reduce any heat loss you’re experiencing. New, energy-efficient boilers perform better than older, inefficient boilers, providing much more heat to a home.
New boilers have much better energy performance, keeping your home warmer for longer and requiring less power.
Lower carbon footprint
New boilers are more eco-friendly than old models, resulting in lower carbon emissions. If you’d like to help the environment, high-efficiency boilers are a great step to achieving that.

What is funded under the ECO4 scheme?
The ECO4 scheme offers vulnerable households in the UK a wide range of improvements. However, its primary focus is insulation first.
This is because, no matter what improvements they make to a home’s heating systems, if the insulation is poor, the same issues will remain.
So, as well as home insulation in cavity walls, exterior walls and lofts, the ECO4 scheme offers the following:
- New heating controls
- Solar panels
- Non-condensing boiler upgraded to an A-rated boiler
- Inefficient storage heaters upgraded to high heat retention storage heaters
- Poor heating system upgraded to air source heat pumps
- Ventilation
Which energy companies have signed up for the government’s eco scheme?
Many of the major energy suppliers in the UK have signed up for the ECO4 scheme. The following companies have joined it:
- British Gas
- Bulb Energy
- E
- E.ON Energy
- Ecotricity
- EDF Energy
- ESB Energy
- Foxglove Energy
- Scottish Power
- Shell Energy
- Octopus Energy
If your energy supplier is not on this list, you can speak to our specialists by calling 0800 464 7292.
How much funding can I receive from the ECO4 scheme?
Funding between £7000 and £20,000 is available for applicants to improve their home’s energy efficiency.
The ECO4 scheme covers funding for home and loft insulation, new heating controls, boiler replacement or upgrades, and more.
Can applying for the ECO4 scheme affect my benefits?
No, participating in the ECO4 scheme to improve your home’s energy efficiency does not impact your income support benefits or credit score.
The funding is in place to support vulnerable households and people who suffer from a health condition that could be exacerbated by living in a cold home.If you have any more questions about a new boiler in Wirral or the government’s ECO4 scheme, don’t hesitate to contact us toda
