Welcome to A1 Free Boilers FREE BOILER GRANTS IF YOU QUALIFY? WE DON'T HAVE ANY FUNDING. Free boilers are being fitted in homes across the UK and are being installed as part of a new Government energy-efficiency grant scheme - the Energy Companies Obligation (ECO).
Homeowners and private tenants that are in receipt of certain qualifying benefits or on low incomes will qualify for the Home Heating Cost Reduction Obligation (HHCRO), also referred to as Affordable Warmth (ECO).
The free boiler scheme is funded by the UK's major energy providers including British Gas, Scottish Power, Eon & NPower.
Installing a new energy-efficient boiler will not only save you around £2000 for installation costs, it will mean a savings of around £300 per year on gas bills.
All work will be completed by approved local fully qualified Gas Safe engineers.
