Boiler Scrappage Scheme 0 Answers

54,758 vouchers have been snapped up under the Government’s Boiler Scrappage scheme leaving around 70,000 vouchers worth a total of £28 million still up for grabs.

The scheme was launched in January to upgrade up to 125,000 household heating systems in England to cut carbon, save money on fuel bills and sustain work for the heating industry.

All the major energy companies which sell and install boilers (British Gas, E.On, npower and Scottish & Southern) have now matched the offer, giving householders potentially £800 off the cost of a new efficient boiler. Some manufacturing companies are also offering deals.

Will this scheme work?

Household Energy Management Strategy 1 Answer

The Government has today published its Household Energy Management Strategy [PDF 739kb], setting out its plans for meeting its target for a reduction of 29% in carbon emissions from the household sector.

The strategy responds to the consultation conducted on Heat and Energy Saving last year, and sets out plans to meet both the overall 2020 goal, and interim commitments to ensure that, by 2015, every household will have installed loft and cavity wall insulation where it is practical to do so, and by 2020 up to 7 million homes will have received more substantial eco-upgrades, including improvements such as solid wall insulation or renewable energy generating technologies.

Do you agree?
