Types of Boilers You Can Get with a Free Boiler Grant
Our free boiler grant offers high-efficiency A-rated condensing boilers that meet the more recent energy efficiency standards.
Combi Boiler
Small and compact, this all-in-one unit provides instant hot water and heats your home without the need for a separate water tank. Ideal for smaller homes, a combi boiler is space-saving and very efficient in terms of energy use.
System Boiler
A system boiler stores hot water in a cylinder, making it perfect for homes with multiple bathrooms. Its quick availability of hot water and high efficiency make it reliably consistent for larger families in need of hot water and warmth.
Regular Boilers
Regular or conventional boilers are ideal if you have an older heating system with water tanks in the loft. These require a cold water storage tank and a hot water cylinder. Such boilers are a good option if your house is in low-water-pressure areas.

Our ECO4 Installation Process
Our simple process makes it easy for you to qualify, assess, and install energy-efficient heating upgrades for your home. Here’s how it works:
Start by filling out our quick eligibility form in just 60 seconds to indicate whether you qualify for ECO4 grants based on your income, qualifying government benefits, the type of heating system fitted in your property at this time, and other relevant factors. If eligible, you’re one step closer to a more energy-efficient home absolutely free.
Once eligibility is confirmed, we schedule a professional survey of your property. Our trained surveyors evaluate your home’s existing energy efficiency, identify where heat loss is occurring, and determine which ECO4-approved upgrades will be most effective for your specific property.
Next, we verify your home’s current EPC rating. This step is essential to meet ECO4 requirements and understand how much the recommended upgrades can improve your energy performance. An improved EPC rating can significantly reduce your energy costs and boost your property’s value.
After the survey and EPC rating check, we submit your application for grant approval. Once approved, this official confirmation gives you full access to the funded upgrades under ECO4. This approval also means zero upfront costs for you, so you can proceed confidently.
Our qualified, Gas Safe registered professionals will install the approved upgrades according to ECO4 standards. This includes insulation, heating systems, windows, or any other ECO4-eligible improvements. All installations prioritize your comfort and safety.
Upon completion, we handle all necessary government documentation, ensuring everything meets ECO4 standards for final approval. This allows you to enjoy your upgrades worry-free, knowing that all paperwork and compliance requirements have been fully addressed.

Types of Boilers That Can Be Replaced Under the ECO4 Scheme
- Non-Condensing Boilers: Older models with lower efficiency (below 86%) are eligible, as they waste significant energy.
- Back Boilers: Often outdated and expensive to run, back boilers are less efficient, making them ideal candidates for replacement.
- Boilers Over 15 Years Old: This old typically lacks modern energy-saving features and contributes to high energy consumption.
- Floor-Standing Boilers: Inefficient in both energy and space usage, these older designs occupy more room and cost more to operate.
- Storage Heaters: High energy consumption and inefficiency make electric storage heaters costly for households.
- Wood/Biomass Heaters: These produce high carbon emissions and contribute significantly to environmental harm.
3 Signs It's Time to Upgrade Your Old Boiler
If you see any of these signs with your current boiler, it may well be time for an upgrade to a more efficiently running model:
- 1-Boiler Age: Boilers installed before 2005 are most likely non-condensing, which wastes much energy and increases running costs.
- 2-Boiler Efficiency: If your boiler is not rated higher than 84.6%, then it may be more than likely outdated, probably being very inefficient in its use, hence costing you more on bills.
- 3-Pipe Under Boiler: Check if there is a white plastic pipe below your boiler. This pipe is used to dispose of condensed water in condensed boilers. If your boiler lacks it, it’s likely non-condensing and can be replaced free of cost.
