Received a government grant for the replacement of your boiler?

The boiler replacement scheme, available in Northern Ireland, helps owner occupiers to improve the energy efficiency of their home.

The scheme is open to owner occupiers with household income less than £40,000 and who have an inefficient boiler of at least 15 years old.

The grant of up to £1,000 dependent on total gross annual income is available to help with replacing an inefficient boiler with a more energy efficient condensing oil or gas boiler or switching from oil to gas.

The amount of grant payable will depend on total gross income. For those earning less than £20,000 the grant is £700 to replace the boiler but will rise to £1,000 if controls are also being installed.

For those earning over £20,000 but less than £40,000 the grant is £400 for the boiler but will rise to £500 if controls are installed.

You must receive written approval from the Housing Executive before you replace your old boiler.

The Affordable Warmth Scheme is a government grant designed to improve the energy efficiency of households of those on low incomes, certain benefits and or over a certain age. 

Affordable Warmth will see energy-saving home improvements like new boilers and insulation be available to people on low incomes and/or on certain benefits. 

These improvements will help keep homes warm all year round, and reduce heating bills. This grant covers 100% of the overall cost, unlike the boiler replacement scheme which covers a percentage of the costs.

For gas installations the installer must be 'gas safe' registered.

Boiler installers should normally be accredited to a relevant trade body. However, householders can use an installer of their choice.

All In One Plumbing will help you check your eligibility, complete applications, supply and install a new efficient boiler and will be on hand for regular maintenance.
