What are the benefits of the free boiler scheme in Leicester?
Reduced carbon emissions
Old boilers do not run efficiently because they waste a lot of energy. This wasted energy is then emitted into the atmosphere, increasing the carbon emissions of your home. A new boiler does not waste energy and, because of this, does not need as long to heat your home, therefore lowering your carbon footprint.
Lower energy bills
The energy consumption of newer, energy-efficient models is much lower than older, traditional boilers. As a result, your energy bills will decrease.
Greater energy efficiency
A new boiler can achieve greater efficiency because it won’t require as much energy to power your heating system, thus bringing your energy usage down.
Better EPC rating
With lower energy usage and a smaller carbon footprint, your home should receive an improved Energy Performance Certificate rating. This can also help increase your property’s value if you ever consider placing it on the market.
Funding available with government-backed grants
As part of the UK government’s initiative to cut carbon emissions, grants are available to fund a range of energy-efficient measures for homes with low energy ratings. Qualifying homeowners and private tenants could be eligible to receive full funding for a variety of energy-saving measures, including roof insulation, home insulation, improved heating systems, air source heat pumps and solar panels.
