Boiler Substitute Allowance scheme in Northern Ireland

Posted on by Posted in Bathrooms and Kitchens, Heating, Home improvement

The Boiler Replacement Allowance scheme in Northern Ireland – what is it, am I eligible and how do I apply?

Main UK boiler producer Baxi provides advice on the forthcoming Boiler Replacement Allowance and why it makes good financial and environmental sense to switch old inefficient boilers.

Greater than 16000 properties throughout Northern Ireland may turn into more energy environment friendly thanks to a brand-new boiler replacement scheme introduced by the Northern Eire Government recently. But if your outdated boiler still works, why should you consider retiring it and installing a new one?

Properly, fairly merely, if your boiler is more than 15 years previous, it’s probably what is called a ‘customary effectivity’ boiler, installed earlier than condensing boilers became the norm. That implies that for every unit of gas it burns, it probably converts less than 70 per cent to useable warmth, which implies you might be fairly actually burning money!

According to the Vitality Saving Trust, changing an old inefficient boiler with a cutting-edge mannequin can save you around £300* a 12 months on your fuel bill.

Condensing, or excessive efficiency, boilers have bigger heat exchangers, so they extract far more heat. In truth, the flue gases can get so cool that they condense – therefore the title – and much more energy is recovered, developing the boilers over 90 per cent environment friendly**.

This implies you will generate more heat in your money, your fuel payments can be decrease and as well as you will be substantially reducing your carbon dioxide emissions. In case you switch from oil or coal to natural gas, the money and carbon financial savings may very well be even greater.

Am I eligible for the scheme?

In an effort to be eligible for the scheme you should fulfill the next standards:
. you own your property
. your household’s earnings is lower than £40000
. your boiler is over 15 years old

Sadly if you happen to hire your house from a non-public landlord, the Housing Govt or a Housing Affiliation you can not apply for this scheme.

The grant will assist towards the cost of a new, high effectivity oil or gas boilers, switching your heating system from oil or LPG to pure gas, or switching to a wood pellet boiler, like the Baxi Bioflo.

The amount of money you’re going to get is determined by your household income. If your household income is lower than £20000, the essential grant is £700. This can enhance to £1000 for those who install controls as well as a boiler.

Should you earn between £20000 and £40000 the boiler grant will probably be £four hundred, rising to £500 if controls have to be installed.
