Green Deal

Overview

The Green Deal helps you make energy-saving improvements to your home and find the best way to pay for them.

The improvements that could save you the most energy depend on your home, but typical examples include:

  • insulation, eg solid wall, cavity wall or loft insulation
  • heating
  • draught-proofing
  • double glazing
  • renewable energy generation, e.g. solar panels or heat pumps

What is ECO Affordable Warmth?

The ECO (Energy Companies Obligation) is the latest government initiative to get the UK using less energy. Part of the deal is to help people on a low income make improvements to their home that will reduce their energy bills. This is called the Affordable Warmth scheme.

If you receive certain benefits, you may be able to have your boiler replaced under the Affordable Warmth scheme – completely free of charge.

Do I qualify for a free boiler?

You may qualify for a free boiler if you are a homeowner or private tenant, and you receive one or more of the following benefits:

  • Pension credit
  • Child tax credit (as long as your household income is below £15,860)
  • Working tax credit (as long as your household income is below £15,860)
  • Income Support
