Boiler Scrappage Scheme
December 2009 saw the announcement from the UK government that they will introduce a boiler scrappage scheme which will provide a £400 rebate towards replacing energy inefficient boilers rated G or worse with energy efficient boilers. The government has pledged £50 million so far which means approximately 125,000 boilers will be replaced. However, there are 4.5 million households that currently have boilers which would qualify under the government boiler scrappage scheme so if you plan to apply it is incredibly important to do so as quickly as possible because the money for boiler rebates will run out fast.
Government Boiler Scrappage Scheme Summary
In summary, you will likely qualify for the government boiler scrappage scheme if :
1. Your boiler has a G energy rating or worse
2. The boiler is in working order and is the main boiler used to heat the home
Next Steps
If you have found that your old boiler will likely qualify for a boiler scrappage scheme by checking our boiler energy rating database and have found that your boiler is rated at 70% efficiency or G rating or worse, you will need to act very quickly to apply for the scrappage scheme as there are far too many people that would qualify for the scheme compared with the funds that the government have allocated, therefore, you need to apply without delay so that you don't miss out.
You need to:
Research the new A rated energy efficient boiler you would like to buy.
The consumer group Which? have a best buy boiler report which you can currently get for just £ 1. Click here for details.
Get a boiler installation quote
Arrange for a boiler installation engineer to give you a quote for the work.
It is important that you do not have the boiler installed prior to being accepted onto the boiler scrappage scheme as this will invalidate your rebate. You should choose your new boiler, get a quote, apply for the boiler scrappage scheme, and once accepted you will be given a £400 voucher which will be issued to you up to ten days after application from 18 January 2010 onwards. The £400 voucher can then be used as a rebate against your new boiler.
Boiler Efficiency
All boilers have energy efficiency ratings, which determine how environmentally friendly they are and how efficiently they will consume fuel. The energy ratings for boilers are known as SAP (SAP Seasonal Efficiency) and SEDBUK (Seasonal Efficiency of Domestic Boilers in the UK) ratings.
The SAP rating will be numerical between 0-100 (100 being the most energy efficient score possible). The SEDBUK rating will be alphabetical with a scale between A-G (A being the most efficient).
The below table shows what letter (SEDBUK rating) applies to each numbered range (SAP rating).
| A | 90% and above |
| B | 86% - 90% |
| C | 82% - 86% |
| D | 78% - 82% |
| E | 78% - 82% |
| F | 70% - 74% |
| G | below 70% |
Noted below is a list of known boilers in the order of manufacturer, model, model ID and SAP rating. Alternatively click on one of the letters below to search for your chosen manufacturer.
The list can be used to research the SAP rating of your current boiler and/or collate a list of boilers with the most favourable SAP number (the higher, the more energy efficient).
If your current boiler is in the D-G range you should consider buying a new more energy efficient boiler as this will save you money on your heating bills of if you have a broken boiler you should definitely consider the British Gas HomeCare
When considering buying a new boiler you should always aim to buy one with the highest SEDBUK rating possible. British Gas often have large discounts on offer for new boilers so it is worth visiting their British Gas boiler offers page to see if you can pick up a cheap boiler deal.
