From Monday 24 May 2010 households will be able to apply online or over the phone through the Scottish Government’s Energy Saving Scotland advice network for a grant of £400 towards the cost of a new boiler. Up to 5,000 households in Scotland will receive £400 towards the cost of a new boiler, under the new boiler scrappage scheme.
Households who have a central heating boiler which is listed as a category G rated boiler in the SEDBUK listing (www.sedbuk.com) and which convert less than 70 per cent of fuel into heat, will qualify for cashback on a new energy saving model. However they must use an installer who must be registered with Gas Safe (for gas installations) and a recognised industry body such as CLE or SNIPEF. Members of certain other industry schemes may also be used and details of these will be included in the scheme guidance.
