Boiler Scrappage Scheme
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.

This has to be a good thing for the environment, the economy and more importantly the customer. Its a win win for everyone in my opinion.
