Save on your energy bills with a free boiler grant
Your current heating system could be costing you too much money each month. An outdated and inefficient gas central heating system can cost hundreds of pounds more than you need to pay every year.
Here’s what you can save with the free boiler scheme in Liverpool:
£310
£290
£380
£590

These are estimated figures based on removing an old F-rated boiler (with a programmer and room thermostat), and installing a new A-rated condensing boiler – with a programmer, room thermostat and thermostatic radiator controls (TRVs) – in a gas-heated home.
Savings will vary depending on the size and thermal performance of your home.
Figures are based on fuel prices as of October 2022.
Funding available with government-backed grants
As part of the UK government’s initiative to cut carbon emissions, grants are available to fund energy-efficient upgrades to homes with low energy ratings.
If you are living on a low-income or receive income-related benefits, you could be eligible to receive full funding for home insulation, air source heating and solar panel energy.
What are the eligibility criteria for free boiler grants in Liverpool?
To qualify for new energy-efficient heating systems in your home, you must make sure your current boiler is at least seven years old.
You must also be either a homeowner or a private tenant before applying for a free boiler grant in Liverpool.
If both of these factors apply to you, you must also have one of the following qualifying benefits:
- Child Tax Credits
- Income-Related ESA
- Income-Related JSA
- Working Tax Credits
- Universal Credit
- Pension Credits
What are the benefits of a boiler replacement and a new heating system?
Reduce heat loss
You can reduce heat loss in your home by installing a new boiler. New, energy-efficient boilers perform better than older, inefficient boilers, providing much more heat to a home.
Save energy
By applying for free boiler grants in Liverpool, you can save energy. New boilers are much more efficient than older models, so you not only reduce energy bills but you save energy in the process.
Reduce energy bills
With the free boiler grant scheme in Liverpool, you can reduce the amount of money you spend every month on your energy bills.
A new boiler will have an energy performance certificate proving it is economical, ensuring lower energy bills.
An older boiler is not as efficient as a new one, so it requires more energy (and more money) to heat your home.
Lower carbon footprint
New boilers are much more eco-friendly, resulting in lower carbon emissions. If helping the planet is something you’re keen on doing, apply for one of the government’s free boiler grants.

What is funded under the ECO4 scheme?
There are several heating measures covered by the government-backed ECO scheme to make homes all over the UK more energy efficient. The ECO4 scheme takes a ‘fabric first’ approach by looking at home insulation before anything else.
While upgrading a boiler system can benefit a home, it can be ineffective without proper insulation. Here’s what the ECO4 grant can offer UK households:
- Solar PV systems
- Non-condensing boiler replaced with an A-rated boiler
- Inefficient storage heaters upgraded to high heat retention storage heaters
- Poor heating system swapped for air source heat pumps
- Wall insulation (cavity wall or solid wall insulation)
- Loft or roof insulation
- Ventilation
- Heating controls
Which energy companies offer the ECO scheme in Liverpool?
The following energy companies have signed up to be a part of the ECO4 scheme:

- Bulb Energy
- E (Gas and Electricity)
- E.ON Energy

Does participating in the ECO4 scheme affect my benefits or credit?
No, receiving an ECO4 grant to improve the energy efficiency of your home does not affect any benefits you receive, nor does it impact your credit score.
The government-backed ECO scheme is designed to provide energy-saving measures to people who need it, improving the energy efficiency of vulnerable households.
Can landlords in Liverpool apply for the ECO4 scheme?
Yes – landlords can apply for the ECO4 funding but only if their tenants receive any of the qualifying benefits, are deemed to be on low income, suffer from a health condition that’s impacted by living in a cold home, or are experiencing fuel poverty.
Do I need to pay anything towards improving my home’s energy efficiency?
No. If you are eligible for ECO4 funding, you do not have to pay anything towards your home’s improvements.
How much funding can I receive from the ECO4 scheme?
Individual applicants can receive between £7,000 and £20,000 worth of funding to improve the energy efficiency of their home. The ECO4 scheme covers funding for home and loft insulation, new heating controls, boiler replacement or upgrades, and more.
Can I refuse any upgrades I’m eligible for?
Yes. While the installer will recommend the measures your home requires to improve its efficiency, you can refuse any measures you do not want – as long as you meet the minimum requirements of the scheme.
