Does your gas boiler need upgrading?
If your gas boiler is over 10-15 years old, you might want to consider upgrading. Older boilers can be inefficient, leading to higher energy bills and increased carbon emissions. Frequent breakdowns, uneven heating, and unusual noises are common signs that your boiler is struggling to meet your home’s heating needs.
By upgrading to a modern, eco-friendly gas boiler, you can improve your home’s energy efficiency, reduce heating costs, and enjoy a more reliable heating system. With options for government grants and incentives, upgrading has never been easier or more affordable.
What is the ECO Grant Scheme?
The ECO 4 grant scheme is part of the UK and Welsh governments’ commitment to reduce CO2 emissions and help lower-income families in Wales cope with the rising cost of heating their homes.
The ECO scheme runs until March 2026, with £4 billion in grant funding set aside by the largest energy companies to install energy efficiency measures such as solar panels and insulation.
