If you currently have a non-condensing gas boiler, there’s good news for you. You may be eligible for a free and fully-funded new boiler under a replacement boiler grant scheme designed to upgrade inefficient boilers.
The Government wants to get rid of non-condensing boilers and other inefficient heating, so they are incentivising upgrading old, inefficient heating systems to newer, more efficient options.
Through the latest government Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, you can replace your old non-condensing gas boiler with an A-rated combi boiler completely free, and you’ll receive a free, full-house assessment as part of the package. With boiler guarantees included and an additional TrustMark insurance-backed guarantee, you’ll have total peace of mind over your new, efficient boiler.
At Energy Saving Genie, we have years of experience in helping homeowners reduce energy costs. We’ve made it incredibly easy to determine if you qualify for a grant to replace your old, non-condensing boiler. Our free grant checker lets you know if you meet one of the 6 ways to qualify, and if you do, you’ll be connected with one of our 30+ registered installers with direct access to UK Government funding.
How a Boiler Grant is the Solution to Boiler Efficiency
In a typical household, over half of the fuel bills are spent on heating and hot water. By upgrading to an A-rated boiler, you will see a significant reduction in your energy bills without having to spend a penny.
The availability of these free government grants, with total funding of £4 billion, makes it much easier to make the switch. With these grants, you can enjoy the benefits of a new, energy-efficient boiler for free, and you could also get free insulation and ventilation at your home.
How We Help You Secure an ECO Boiler Grant
At Energy Saving Genie, we make the process simple and hassle-free. Once you have used our free grant checker to see if you are eligible for a grant, you’ll be connected with a registered installer with funding in your area. The registered installer will carry out a review of your property and, providing the property is eligible, the installer with funding will offer a free visit to your home, at a time that suits you. The surveyor who visits will recommend energy-saving measures and determine your eligibility for grants funded through the Government’s Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme.
Boiler Replacement Funding: Say Goodbye to your Inefficient Boiler
Once you receive the green light and your grant application is successful, our approved registered installer will install your boiler and transform the energy efficiency of your home. With the highest standards of workmanship, these fully qualified and insured Gas Safe registered engineers will replace your old non-condensing boiler with a new A-rated combination boiler at no cost to you.

Understanding Boiler Replacement Grants
Boiler replacement grants are available to homeowners with non-condensing boilers. They are only available to homeowners, not to housing association, council and private tenants or landlords.
The grant covers the entire cost of replacing your boiler, and the works are carried out by qualified and approved installers.
To determine if you’re entitled to government assistance, fill out our short boiler application form. If you don’t qualify for the ECO grant scheme you could qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) or Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS).
