The UK Boiler scrappage scheme was launched on January 5, 2010. Its aim is to help up to 125,000 households to install newer, fuel-efficient heating systems and stay warm without wasting energy. Households that take part will save between £200 to £235 a year on fuel bills, cut their carbon emissions and sustain work for the heating industry.
To qualify, one has to live in England and have a working G-rated boiler. Successful applicants receive a voucher for £400 off the price of either a modern A rated boiler or a renewable heating system (such as a biomass boiler or a heat pump).
