Boiler grants · Liverpool & Knowsley
No false "free boiler" promises. Just a straight explanation of how the grant schemes really work, who actually qualifies, and your options if you do not.
You will see a lot of adverts promising a "free boiler" through government grants. The honest truth is that schemes like ECO4 and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme are real, but they have strict eligibility rules and most households do not qualify. This page explains how they actually work, with no false promises.
Paul is not going to promise you a free boiler he cannot deliver. What he will do is tell you straight whether a grant is even likely to apply to your situation, and if it does not, give you an honest, fair-priced route to a warm, efficient home instead.
The honest picture
01
ECO4
A government energy-efficiency scheme that can help lower-income and vulnerable households with heating improvements. Eligibility is strict, usually tied to benefits or specific circumstances, and it is delivered by registered installers, not every plumber.
02
Boiler Upgrade Scheme
This scheme is aimed at low-carbon heating like heat pumps, not straight gas-boiler replacements, so it does not apply to most gas-boiler swaps. It is worth knowing the difference before you get your hopes up.
03
If you do not qualify
Most households do not qualify, and that is the honest reality. If that is you, Paul gives you a fair, fixed written quote for a proper new boiler instead, no gimmicks.
No surprises
A typical job
A homeowner sees a "free boiler grant" advert and rings Paul full of hope. Rather than string them along, Paul explains the eligibility honestly, works out that they are unlikely to qualify, and instead gives them a fair fixed written quote for a good new boiler. Disappointing on the free front, but honest, and they trust him for it.
If a grant does not apply to you, Paul gives you a fair, fixed written quote for a proper new boiler instead. No false promises, no gimmicks.
