What are the benefits of free boiler grants in Wigan?
Lower carbon emissions
A new boiler can help to reduce carbon emissions from your property. Old boilers use a lot more energy to power your central heating system, thus wasting a lot. This waste is released into the atmosphere, creating a large carbon footprint. As new models waste a lot less – close to zero – your home’s carbon footprint is much smaller.
Help for low-income households
The main benefit of the ECO4 scheme is the help it provides people in need, lifting households out of fuel poverty and allowing them to keep their homes warm.
Lower energy bills
As new boilers use a lot less energy, your total energy usage decreases, which, in turn, brings your bills down. This is key heading into the winter months when gas and electricity usage will be up compared to spring and summer.
Improved Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating
When a home receives energy efficiency improvements, it improves the overall EPC rating of the property. This is the basis for the UK government scheme and may also help to increase your property’s value if you were to place it on the market in future.
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.
