I think changing the boiler is only the beginning of saving money on heating bills. Ensuring that the heat settings are set properly and controls are correctly set will ensure more money is saved.

The scrappage scheme does help the less well off as a higher efficient combination boiler will save money on energy bills.

It sounds good, but when for instance British gas is charging £500+ more for a new boiler than you can get from a plumbers merchant ie BHL is the scheme a money earner for installers. This scheme should benefit poorer people who need the savings on their heating bills but at around £3000 (after all the so called discounts) only the better off can afford it. AND it will take the average householder 10 years to recoup the cost. AND how good is it for the environment to scrap a perfectly good boiler to install a boiler with a dubious reliability.

The scrappage scheme sounds good. Good for the environment, Good for the fitters and good for us as we’ll save money with more effecient boilers.

Hi PJ
You will first need to contact the Energy Saving Trust. They will be able to advise if your boiler is G-rated or worse.
Good Luck
