To Nick and Frazier,

Many thanks for the way you have both worked to install our new Worcester Bosch condensing boiler.

We have been impressed with your professionalism and helpfullness throughout.

Have an Easter egg or pint on us!

Kind Regards

Mr & Mrs Crompton

Unfortunatly the Boiler Scrappage Scheme has now finnished. All 125,000 grants have been applied for.

 However there are still grants available for over 60’s or customers who are looking to change from electric or solid fuel heating to gas or oil fired boilers.

Contact us for more information on these schemes.

 Dear Sirs,

Thank you for completing  a very proffesional job.

Could you please put me on your service contract as i would like to use Lewington’s to service our new boiler next year.

Mr Garley

Uppingham.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Just a short note to say how impressed i have been with your company’s service and instalation of my new Worcester 37 CDI Combi boiler, in particular your employee Darren King. He offered sound, frendly advice at the quoting, instalation and commisioning stages. Darren even located the rare replacement roof tiles required to make good my old flue hole.

I originally contacted your company via the Worcester Bosch website, searching for local installers and have not been disapointed.

It’s good to deal with a local, competitive and professional company; I will be reccomending you to my neighbours who have experienced similar problems with there Gledhill Gulfstream 2000 boilers.

The Government’s boiler scrappage scheme seems to have been a big success for many home owners in and around Market Harborough.  We have had plenty of requests from families looking to replace their old inificient boilers with new ‘greener’ ones who have qualified for the £400 grant.

The bad news is that the funds made available for this scheme are now starting to dwindle, so if you are interested in saving hundreds of pounds on a new boiler now is the time to get in touch.

Boiler Scrappage Scheme Warning

The following article was posted on www.moneysavingexpert.com yesterday and reveals that some largercompanies aditional £400 incentive are not perhaps all that they appear to be.

Energy firms offering new boiler discounts when scrapping an old appliance may still be charging hundreds of pounds more than the competition.

British Gas, Eon, Npower and Scottish & Southern Energy (SSE) all give a £400 discount off one of their boilers in addition to the £400 Government scrappage scheme discount.

Yet it could still be significantly cheaper buying from an independent firm, even with the extra power firm reduction.

The typical cost of buying and installing a boiler is £2,500, according to the heating industry.

Twice as expensive

Research from consumer lobby group Which? last year found British Gas charged up to twice as much as the cheapest independent engineer for the same job.

Installer Peter Thom, who runs heating firm Green Heat and sits on the Institute of Domestic Heating and Environmental Engineers executive council, says: “An independent installer can be £1,000 cheaper. The power companies often load a few hundred pounds onto the price.”

The key is to secure quotes from a trusted independent installer and your energy supplier to find the cheapest. Getting an accurate quote normally requires a home visit, says Thom.

The other two of the big six energy firms (EDF and Scottish Power) do not sell boilers.

Grab a grant

Grants of up to £3,500 for a new boiler are available for those on some benefits in England via the Warm Front scheme. Check whether you’re entitled before applying for the Government voucher as you may not be eligible for both.

The Government scheme, which applies in England only, allows up to 125,000 households with working boilers with the lowest “G” rating to apply for vouchers from the Energy Saving Trust (EST) towards “A” rated boilers or renewable heating systems.

The terms of the power firms’ discounts vary. They are generally similar to the Government’s scheme with some deviations.

For instance, SSE offers the £400 discount throughout Britain, while Npower will allow you to trade in a ten-year-old (or older) boiler, regardless of rating.

If you would like to know if your old boiler qualifies for the scheme call 01858 433 333 for a free estimate.

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.
