If your home still relies on an old back boiler for heating and hot water, you're likely paying more than necessary for energy. Back boilers, though once common, are now considered inefficient, outdated, and expensive to maintain. Fortunately, through the Back Boiler Replacement Scheme, eligible households can replace their back boilers with energy-efficient models — often at no cost.
At Eco Boiler Grants, we help homeowners and tenants access this government-backed scheme and upgrade to modern, cost-effective heating.
Why Replace Your Back Boiler?
Back boilers are a thing of the past. While they may still provide heat, they are:
Energy Inefficient: These systems consume more energy to produce the same level of heat compared to modern alternatives.
Expensive to Maintain: As they age, back boilers require more repairs and are harder to service.
Incompatible with Smart Controls: They don’t support the advanced smart heating technologies that can save you money.
Higher Carbon Footprint: Older back boilers are not as environmentally friendly as modern, high-efficiency systems.
By upgrading to a new, high-efficiency boiler, you can reduce your heating bills, lower your carbon footprint, and improve overall comfort in your home.
What Is the Back Boiler Replacement Scheme?
The Back Boiler Replacement Scheme is a government initiative under the ECO4 programme, aimed at helping low-income and vulnerable households replace outdated heating systems. The scheme offers funding to replace old boilers with modern, energy-efficient alternatives — often completely free for those who qualify.
This scheme is available to homeowners and private tenants who meet certain eligibility criteria, making it an excellent way to improve your heating system without breaking the bank.
