Cashback for boilers!

More help for households to cut fuel costs
A new £2.5 million boiler scrappage scheme opens today.
Funds have been made available by the Scottish Government for over 6,000 households in Scotland to receive £400 towards the cost of a new boiler.
Households with poor performing boilers which convert less than 70 per cent of fuel into heat, will qualify for cashback on a new energy saving model.
Upgrading to a greener boiler will help reduce heating costs by about a quarter and save around £190 a year on fuel bills.
Households can apply over the phone 0800 512 012 or online through Home Energy Scotland, the Scottish Government’s one stop shop for home energy help.
It is the third time the Scottish Government has opened the scheme in the last year, with up to 14,000 households expected to benefit from a total scrappage fund of £6 million.
