Who Qualifies For A Boiler Grant FAQs

Your Questions Answered Here

1

What Is The Free Boiler Scheme?

The Free Boiler Scheme From The Government Has Been Around For The Last 10 Years Or So. 

The Free Boiler  Scheme has been set up by the UK Government  to assist people in the UK that are in receipt of Means Tested Benefits to exchange their old and faulty boilers for FREE.  The scheme is also open to people that are in an LA Flex Area too.

British Gas and All The Other Large Energy Companies are Funding This Fantastic Scheme To Help People On Benefits To Exchange Their Boiler For Free. Over A Million Boilers Have Now Been Exchanged On The Grant Since Its Inception in 2013.  YOU MAY QUALIFY!  Please see Gov Uk  for details on all the Energy Grants For 2024

2

Do All Oaps Qualify For A free boiler if on benefits?

Yes & No. Being On A Benefit Does Not Automatically Entitle You To The Free Boiler Scheme Unfortunately. 

The Criteria To Be Eligible For A Free Boiler Is VERY Strict and There Are Many Boxes That You Have To Tick In Order To See A brand New Boiler On Your Wall Paid For By The Government!

You must receive certain benefits, such as Pension Credit, Child Tax Credit, or Universal Credit. Your home must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D or below.

3

Is There Free Boiler Replacement For Disabled?

 Being in receipt of PIP (Personal Independence Payment) or DLA (Disability Living Allowance) does not make you eligible for a free boiler any more.  All disability benefits were removed from qualifying for  the Eco 4 scheme in March 2022. You will need to be claiming a means tested benefit to qualify in 2024.

Free Boiler When On Benefits -FAQ

The Free Boiler Scheme has been running for over 10 years, offering UK residents on qualifying benefits the chance to replace their old, inefficient boilers for free. Funded by energy companies like British Gas under the ECO4 initiative, the scheme is designed to improve energy efficiency for low-income households that claim a qualifying benefit.

Replacing a boiler can cost between £3,000 and £5,000—a price many low-income families can’t afford. The scheme helps eligible households by fully covering these costs through energy company funding.

The scheme is funded by major energy companies under the UK’s Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) program, including:

  • British Gas
  • EDF Energy
  • E.ON UK
  • npower
  • Scottish Power

No, boiler grants are 100% free and do not require repayment.

To qualify for the scheme, you must:

  • Own your home (private tenants and social housing are not eligible).
  • Have a boiler installed before 2005.
  • Live in a property with an EPC rating of E, F, or G.
  • Be in receipt of a qualifying benefit, such as:
    • Universal Credit
    • Pension Credit
    • Income Support
    • Child or Working Tax Credits

To be eligible, the existing boiler must:

  • Be non-condensing. (Fitted Before 2005 ) 
  • Be below 85% efficiency.

The following boilers typically do not qualify:

  • Boilers installed after 2005.
  • Broken boilers under 19 years old.
  • Most combi boilers.

The LA FLEX (Local Authority Flexible Eligibility) program allows certain households not on benefits to qualify for energy efficiency grants. Eligibility depends on income (below £31,000), EPC rating, and other criteria set by local councils.

Simply complete an application form and provide proof of your eligibility, such as:

  • Income documents (tax returns, payslips, etc.).
  • EPC rating of your home.
  • Evidence of qualifying benefits or LA FLEX criteria.

Most non-benefit applications are rejected. However, you can still:

  • Apply for free loft insulation.
  • Be added to our database in case funding changes in the future.
  • Explore the Boiler Upgrade Scheme for discounted heat pumps.

No, the boiler does not have to be faulty. However, it must have an efficiency rating below 85%.

No, the scheme does not reimburse the cost of privately purchased boilers.

No, servicing is not covered. A boiler service typically costs around £60 and ensures your system runs safely and efficiently.

Disability benefits like PIP and DLA no longer qualify for the scheme. Applicants must meet standard benefit requirements.

Homes without central heating may qualify for free first-time central heating installation. Visit our Free Central Heating page for more details.

This program provides homeowners up to £7,500 towards a heat pump when replacing a fossil fuel boiler. Heat pumps reduce energy bills by 30% and are seen as the future of home heating.
