During the 2010 Pre-Budget Report (PBR), Chancellor Darling announced a new plan to save money and stimulate the economy, boiler scrappage. The full details of the scheme will be announced shortly in the lead up to the new tax year, but the basics are that you will be able to get a subsidy of £400 towards a new one when you scrap your old boiler.
“Each inefficient boiler adds over £200 to household bills and one tonne of carbon to the atmosphere,” Chancellor Darling said, indicating that the plan would both save money on a recurring annual basis, as well as being good for the environment and the country meeting it’s emissions targets.
We will bring you more news as it’s announced, but in the meantime check your boiler to see how old it is and also those of your immediate family. If this scheme is anything like the car scrappage scheme that has been running over the last year then the budget for the handouts will be limited and first come first served.
