If you are interested in improving your heating system at home without spending anything, read on and find out how you can qualify for a heavily subsidised boiler.
What is it about?
The ECO stands for Energy Company Obligation. It consists of the six energy suppliers. One of which is the Home Heating Cost Reduction Target. The target goal is to save £4.2bn.
Under the program, energy suppliers are obliged to provide ways for low income households to afford home heating systems. This must be done through heat qualifying actions. That is- a means to heat the home that is cost saving, and may include repairing or replacing a boiler that is qualified for the program.
This is a government program aimed at helping homeowners and tenants who are unable to afford new technologies and efficiency improvements in their home. The government is also aiming at cutting more carbon emissions by enabling people to do so.
If you qualify for a huge discount on an installed boiler, you will get a brand new boiler while paying very little!
How can you qualify for a subsidised boiler?
