    What Are The Benefits Of Upgrading My Old Boiler?

    Before exploring free boiler grants to upgrade from an old boiler, let’s review the benefits of doing so:

    • Improved controls and system provide a more comfortable home
    • New boilers are far more energy efficient
    • Better efficiency raises your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating
    • Less money spent on heating bills
    • Energy saving boilers reduce carbon emissions for a greener home

    Can I use Universal Credit to get a Free Boiler?

    Many homeowners and tenants don’t know they may qualify for free boiler support if getting Universal Credit. Fill out our quick form to see if you’re eligible – it takes under 60 seconds.

    At Eco Grants by Apex Eco, we’ve installed eco home upgrades for years, including boilers. We understand available grants and created Eco Grants to help customers like you access entitled support for free boiler upgrades or replacement.

    Which Boiler Grants Offer Support For Those Who Receive Universal Credit?

    Important to note – today’s grants focus less on specific benefits and more on household income and home efficiency.

    Just getting Universal Credit probably isn’t enough to qualify for a free boiler. But if you have low income and an inefficient home in addition to Universal Credit, you likely do qualify.

    These grants could provide a free boiler with Universal Credit:

    • ECO4
    • LA Flexw

    Is ECO4 A Free Boiler Grant Scheme?

    ECO4 is likely the most relevant grant available if you get Universal Credit. ECO4 primarily helps the lowest-income households in the least efficient homes improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and lower bills.

    The government’s ECO Scheme is government funded but delivered by major UK energy companies to support vulnerable customers.

    An ECO boiler grant can provide a free replacement boiler, or at least a much cheaper one – if you qualify.

    One eligibility factor is getting Universal Credit or other qualifying benefits. But there are additional criteria to be aware of too.

    ECO4 Eligibility Criteria

    To be eligible, your household must earn less than £31,000 and fulfill one of the following requirements:

    • Have a home that has an EPC rating of D, E, F, or G.
    • Receive a suitable government benefit, such as Universal Credit, OR a private tenant or member of your family is
    • Have a household income below a certain level AND be eligible for child benefits (more on this below)

    What Are The Other Benefits Eligible Under The Energy Company Obligation Scheme?

    • Housing Benefit
    • Income-Based Jobseeker’s Allowance
    • Income-Related Employment & Support Allowance
    • Income Support
    • Pension Credit Guarantee
    • Pension Credit Savings
    • Working Tax Credit
    • Child Tax Credit

    Can I Qualify For Central Heating Grants With Child Benefit?

    If you get Child Benefit and have household income below these levels, you may also qualify for ECO4 support for a free boiler:

    For single-parent households:

    • 1 child: £19,800
    • 2 children: £24,600
    • 3 children: £29,400
    • 4+ children: £34,200

    For two-parent households:

    • 1 child: £27,300
    • 2 children: £32,100
    • 3 children: £36,900
    • 4+ children: £41,700

    Will I Get An Entirely Free Boiler With Universal Credit And ECO4?

    Not necessarily. You first need to qualify and receive a grant. The grant may cover all or part of the boiler cost based on your entitlement and installation cost.

    Many do get full ECO4 grants covering the total boiler installation cost – meaning yes, you can potentially get a free boiler with Universal Credit. But not everyone will.

    Can LA Flex Provide Universal Credit Holders With Free Boilers?

    The only real differences between ECO4 and LA Flex are in the eligibility requirements. Local governments and councils can provide more focused assistance to households in their community that require the greatest help in managing their energy costs and lowering the amount of carbon emissions their residents generate by increasing the qualifying requirements through LA Flex.

    La Flex Eligibility Requirements

    To be eligible for LA Flex, your residence must have an EPC rating of E-G:
    • Have a household income of no more than £31,000 OR
    • Have health issues that a cold home might worsen OR
    • Satisfy two of the following requirements:
      • Own a home in the LSOA 1-3 region, which the UK has designated as a deprivation region.
      • Because of their modest income, the householder receives Council Tax rebates.
      • The nationally known NICE guidance considers the householder to be vulnerable to living in a cold home.
      • The Local Authority Delivery (LAD) Scheme has referred you to LA Flex because you are low-income and vulnerable.
      • Family members are eligible for complimentary school lunches.
      • You’ve been told by Citizens Advice, your energy provider, or your mortgage lender to apply for government assistance programs because you’ve been in persistent debt from utility or mortgage payments.
    You’ll see that LA Flex says very little regarding benefits or Universal Credit. Here, household income and energy performance are the main topics. However, likely, you’ll likely also meet some of the aforementioned requirements if you receive Universal Credit.

      What's the Boiler Upgrade Plan All About?

      The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a heating grant in the UK intended to replace outdated boilers. However, it typically provides funds for heat pumps rather than boiler replacements. Under BUS, any household in the UK can get a grant covering up to £7,500 for a heat pump installation, regardless of income level or Universal Credit receipt. Fill out our form now to find out if you qualify.

        Free Boiler Universal Credit FAQs:

        Can I use Universal Credit to receive a free boiler?

        Yes, however receiving support doesn’t end with using Universal Credit alone. We’ll also consider your energy performance certificate and household income to make sure you’re only getting help when you truly need it.

        Get in touch with Eco Grants right now, and we’ll assist you in getting the money you’re qualified for.

        According to some estimates, a new, energy-efficient boiler can significantly lower your energy costs, saving you up to £300 annually. These savings come from the fact that your new boiler will heat your house more effectively than the old one and that it will retain heat for a longer time.

        Get in touch with Eco Grants right now to see if you qualify for a free boiler and to begin saving money right away.
