Free Boiler Scheme 2025

The Free Boiler Scheme 2025 is part of the government's extended ECO4 (Energy Company Obligation) program, running until March 2026 with £4 billion in funding. It provides free boiler replacements and energy efficiency measures to eligible UK households to reduce energy bills and carbon emissions.

Eligibility for 2025 includes households receiving certain benefits (Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Income Support, etc.), low-income households with income below £31,000, and properties with poor energy efficiency ratings (EPC D, E, F, or G). Both homeowners and private tenants can apply.

A new A-rated condensing boiler installed in 2025 can save you £300-600 per year on energy bills compared to an old inefficient boiler. Combined with insulation measures, total annual savings can reach £800-1,200 depending on your property type and current energy usage.

The 2025 scheme features extended funding until March 2026, increased total funding to £4 billion, broader eligibility criteria including higher income thresholds, additional support for vulnerable households, and enhanced measures for energy efficiency improvements.

The 2025 scheme covers the complete cost of a new A-rated condensing boiler, professional installation by Gas Safe engineers, removal of your old boiler, all necessary pipework, and additional measures like insulation, heating controls, and renewable heating systems.

The 2025 application process typically takes 4-8 weeks from application to installation. This includes eligibility checks, home survey, installation scheduling, and the actual boiler replacement. We work with approved installers to ensure quick, professional service.

Yes, the Free Boiler Scheme 2025 is 100% free for eligible households. There are no hidden costs, no upfront payments, and no monthly fees. The government and energy companies fund the entire cost of the boiler and installation through the ECO4 program.

The 2025 scheme provides modern A-rated condensing boilers from leading manufacturers like Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal, and Baxi. You'll receive a combi, system, or regular boiler depending on your home's heating requirements and existing system.

Yes, private tenants can apply for the Free Boiler Scheme 2025, but you'll need your landlord's permission. The scheme is particularly beneficial for tenants as it improves the property's energy efficiency and reduces heating costs without any cost to you.

The Free Boiler Scheme 2025 has been extended and now runs until March 2026. This extension provides more time for eligible households to apply and benefit from the energy efficiency measures. However, it's recommended to apply early as funding is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
