Having an efficient heating system that is able to effectively warm your home is crucial for many UK homeowners, especially if household members are young, old, or have a medical condition that requires warm and comfortable temperatures. At ECO Boiler Grants, an Ofgem-approved energy-supplier partner, we strive to bring tailored heating system upgrades that is unique to your needs. A simple boiler upgrade can help save you up to £580 a year, done at no charge to you!
An efficient boiler is now more important than ever because of a few reasons; starting with the environment. Heating your home generates 18% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, more than all the petrol and diesel cars on the road combined. Older G-rated can waste up to 50% of the energy they consume, which means you get to lose half of your direct debit every month. Replacing it with an A-rated condensing boiler reduces the emissions down to 210 g CO₂ per kWh from up to 380 g4, and cuts the gas bill annually by £300-£580 per house size.
The Hidden Costs of an Old Inefficient Boiler:
- The typical calls that are not covered by warranty. Each costing close to £100 without taking into account spare parts.
- New heat-exchanger replacement: £500-£800 fitted.
- Up to 30% more gas used each year.
The ECO4 Boiler Grant Scheme
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) has paid for domestic energy upgrades since 2013, fitting 4.1 million single measures to 2.5 million homes to date. Its current phase, ECO4, running until March 2026 with a £4 billion budget to help improve the UK’s least efficient housing. Energy firms like ECO Boiler Grants are legally required to replace old inefficient boilers, fit insulation and, where appropriate, fit heat pumps.
How Much Could You Save?
Energy-Saving Trust modelling shows replacing a G-rated boiler with an A-rated one saves hundreds on annual bills.
Property Type | Typical Annual Saving | Percentage Gas Cut |
Detached house | £475-£580 | 30%-40% |
Semi-detached | £310-£350 | 28% |
Mid-terrace | £260-£300 | 27% |
Detached bungalow | £285-£340 | 26% |
Mid-floor flat | £120-£150 | 20% |
Multiply those savings over a modern boiler’s 15-year life, and you save up to £8,700 while lowering your carbon emissions by as much as 52 tonnes of CO₂.
The “Whole-House” Approach
ECO4’s is a unique scheme that is highly effective. As soon as your boiler’s approved, the same grant adds on for free or significantly subsidised oft or cavity-wall insulation, smart thermostatic radiator valves, first-time central-heating pipework in electrically-heated homes, solar PV panels if an air-source heat pump is installed, alongside any other upgrades that makes your home more energy efficient.
That “whole-house approach” is why ECO4 retrofits 2-3 measures per home on average. Fill in our simple 1-minute eligibility form and transform your life today!

Book Your Home Energy Survey
Our Retrofit Assessor does an EPC check, snaps a photo of the boiler, and checks pipework compatibility. Surveys are free and convenient, and we have evening appointments.
We Do the Paperwork
From Ofgem compliance forms to DWP benefit verification, our desk team takes care of it all.
Installation!
Gas-Safe installers with your chosen A rated condensing boiler, from premium brands like Worcester Bosch, and smart controls carry out the installation at a time of your convenience with minimum disturbance.
Conclusion
Heating UK homes is presently accountable for nearly a quarter of national emissions. The National Audit Office determined that the cost of decarbonising that footprint at £162 billion by 2050. ECO4 might feel like a small impact step, yet swapping just your boiler trims household CO₂ by up to 1.5 tonnes annually. Multiply that across the 600,000 grants Ofgem aims to deliver each year, and we’re removing 900,000 tonnes, roughly the annual emissions of Manchester, without taxpayers spending a penny.
Your next winter could mean cheaper bills, cosier living, and the quiet contentment of having done your bit for the planet, all funded by the government. Fill in our form and check your eligibility or contact us to learn more!
