Warming your home is a priority that brings all UK homeowners together, and with it the inevitable close in of escalating energy bills. On cold winter mornings and freezing winter nights, staying warm is not a luxury but a necessity. The issue is replacement boilers are not cheap, and with prices for fitting shooting high into four figures, the important question comes into the picture: is there a boiler grant that you can get which you do not have to repay?
At ECO Boiler Grants, we help bring the best solutions while simplifying it for you. Through this blog, you will learn who qualifies for a free boiler grant, and the simple steps to find out whether you could possibly get a new boiler installed, at no cost to yourself!
Understanding Boiler Grants in the UK
The UK government has committed to long-term energy efficiency and carbon emission reductions. One of their missions is assisting homeowners in replacing old heating systems through the use of boiler grants. These grants allow for funding, paying for a boiler in full, so homeowners can get a new A-rated energy-efficient combi boiler installed without having to pay anything at all now or in the future.
Fill in our simple 1-minute eligibility form and check if you qualify for a new A-rated combi boiler from premium brands like Worcester Bosch. We offer full extended warranties of up to 12 years for your peace of mind. Contact us to learn more.
What Is a Boiler Grant?
A boiler grant is governmental funds aimed at helping eligible homeowners replace old inefficient boilers with new, energy-efficient alternatives. Boiler grants usually come under the Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) scheme, which obliges large energy providers, like ECO Boiler Grants, to help reduce domestic carbon emissions.
In effect, instead of you paying for it, energy suppliers pay for it as part of their requirement under statute to meet national energy targets. In this way, you could get a brand new boiler absolutely free from us—no repayments, no charges.
How the ECO4 Scheme Works
The latest government energy efficiency program is the ECO4 scheme (Energy Company Obligation phase 4), running until March 2026. It targets homeowners who live in homes with poorer energy efficiency ratings, having an EPC rating of D, E, F, or G.
The Reason behind ECO4
The purpose of ECO4 is twofold:
- Lower energy bills! When new, efficient boilers are installed, less fuel is needed to heat your home.
- Reduce carbon footprints! Lowering emissions helps the UK meet its goal of reaching net-zero.

Who is Eligible for a Free Boiler Grant?
The ECO4 scheme focuses primarily on assisting lower-income households and those most affected by rising energy prices. It also addresses the vulnerable and household members that might be affected negatively because of the cold.Â
To qualify for an ECO4 boiler replacement grant, you normally need to meet the following requirements:
- Be the homeowner
- Your house has an old, inefficient boiler
- You, or someone in your household, receives at least one qualifying benefit.
- Your EPC rating is E,D,F or G.
If you do not meet one of these requirements but you have a low household income or you reside in an energy inefficient property, then you might still be able to claim under the LA Flex (Local Authority Flexibility) scheme.
Contact us to learn more about how you can apply for the LA Flex scheme, especially if a household member suffers from illnesses that are worsened by the cold, like cardiovascular diseases and mental health issues. The elderly and young are also considered vulnerable and can make you eligible under the scheme.

Why Replace Your Boiler Today?
Replacing your boiler is more than having a greener system or following the latest requirements for home heating—it’s about comfort, reliability, and saving you money each month.
1. Cut Your Energy Bills
New condensing boilers are up to 99% efficient, while older boilers waste almost half the energy they use. That’s a potential saving of up to £600 a year on heating bills.
2. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
An efficient boiler uses less fuel to generate the same quantity of heat, which means a reduced carbon footprint. It’s an immediate contribution towards the UK’s green agenda.
3. Increase Property Value
Energy-efficient upgrades don’t just make your home warmer, but also more desirable to buyers. An improved EPC rating is a marketing feature that can increase your home’s value.
4. Steer Clear of Expensive Breakdowns
Old boilers tend to be plagued by ongoing problems that cost hundreds a year in repairs. A new, up-to-date model provides long-term reliability and reassurance.
