Fuel Switching - Funding

Fuel switching

Fuel switching relates to the changing of the primary heating fuel of your home. The primary heating fuel is the fuel which is used to heat your main living area such as your lounge or living room. For example if your house has a gas fire in the living area and electric storage heaters in the bedrooms it would be considered a gas heated home. If the living area has a focal point fire of any fuel and electric storage heaters it would be considered an electrically heated home. If your primary heating fuel is either electric or coal and you are changing to more carbon friendly gas or oil alternative this is considered to be a fuel switch and you will be entitled to grant funding.

Grant funding available for fuel switching is determined by both your existing heating and the heating type which you have installed. The standard level of funding applies to all privately owned domestic properties and the higher level of funding is available to those customers who are aged 70 or above or in receipt of one of the defined benefits listed on the A1 website.

Please see the table below to see what funding is available and if you have any queries or require a quotation to install a new boiler/ heating system please contact us.

The Government has just released final details of the Boiler Scrappage Scheme. The scheme will start on 18th January.  Almost all Band  ‘G’ boilers will qualify - but only the first 125,000 in the country to apply will receive a grant.

To find out if your boiler is band ‘G’, have your boiler make and model available, call us on 01858 44 55 43.  We have access to the full list of boilers that qualify for the programme.

If you are looking to take advantage of this scheme (and see how much you would save) or are just interested in replacing your existing boiler then Contact Us for a free quotation.

 

This week the government has announced the launch of ‘The Boiler Scrappage scheme’ starting early next year.  Full details are not yet known, but should be soon.

The new scrappage scheme, which will be similar to the successful car scrappage scheme,  offers up to 125,000 homeowners across the UK a £400 incentive to replace their old Band ‘G’ gas boilers with a new energy effiecient ‘A’ rated condensing boiler on a first come first served basis. This provides the opportunity for homeowners to benefit from lower energy bills as well as having an impact on the environment. The boilers that will qualify for the scheme will typically be boilers over 20 years old, floor standing and connected to gravity hot water systems.

At Lewington’s we are committed to reducing carbon emmissions, improving energy efficiency within the home and lowering customers fuel bills. In 2009 alone we have installed over 100 energy efficient boilers and also were awarded the ‘Worcester Bosch 2020 environment award’.

It is estimated that there are currently 4.5 million Band ‘G’ gas boilers in use in the UK that are typically only around 60% efficient. To find out if your boiler is one of these and so meets the requirements needed to qualify for the scheme, please contact us with your boiler make and model. As this is a new scheme the government are still to release details of it, such as start dates and how to apply, so keep checking our website for further information.

 

 

We have just been awarded the Worcester Bosch Envioroment 2020 award for the month of May for the instalation of a energy efficient heating system using ground source heat pump and under floor heating, the system was design and installed by our renewable energy specialist Darren King.

The instalation was judged on type of produts used, efficiency of system, quality of workmanship and customer relations which we scored high in all areas

We will be up against other monthly winners at the end of the year hoping to win the 2009 national 2020 awards for the most enviromently efficient system installed.
