Warm Front Grants For Boilers / Boiler Scrappage Scheme 2022
The Warm Front Free Gas Boiler Scheme Is Coming Back on July 1 2022.
Only non condensing boilers and back boilers will be eligible for this grant.
Non Condensing are boilers which are around 17 years old or older.
There will not be any grants to replace oil and LPG boilers on the new Eco 4 Scheme.
The last free boiler scheme for oil and LPG boilers ended in 2018 with over 100,000 boilers being exchanged for free as part of the government Boiler Scrappage scheme.
Will There Be Any Warm Front Grants For LPG Boilers In The Future?
We do not anticipate any grants forthcoming in the future for both these heating sources due to the government move away from fossil fuel heating.
You may be able to apply for Solar PV or an Air Source Pump but you will probably need to pay a contribution towards it.
July 1 2022 is when the new scheme comes out, so watch this space.

Yes, as part of the UK government’s efforts to reach net zero carbon emissions they have announced a ban for all oil and LPG and gas boilers being fitted in new homes in the UK by 2025.
Alternate forms of heating such as Air Source Heat Pumps, Solar PV will be favoured from this date.
What is an Oil Fired boiler and how does it work?
Are Oil Boilers Efficient?
An oil boiler should reach the same efficiency as a gas boiler.
According to building regulations, oil boilers must have an energy rating of at least 86 per cent, or A+.
A condensing oil fired boiler will usually have an efficiency of 90 per cent or higher.
What Is The Difference Between Gas And Oil Boilers?
The main difference between a gas and an oil boiler is the way the appliances store their fuel.
An oil boiler requires a tank to store the oil until it is needed, whereas a gas boiler doesn’t need to store gas because it is connected to the mains.
Oil boilers are very commonly found in rural areas and where there is no gas main.
Oil Tank Regs
The base of the tank must be strong enough to support the weight of the tank and its contents.
The tank must sit on solid ground, either concrete or paving slabs that are at least 42mm thick and that extend out at least 300mm beyond the perimeter of the tank.
If the tank is located quite close to your house, a fire wall must be positioned between the tank and your home.
