Scotland gets it's own boiler scrappage scheme?

Following on from the English boiler scrappage scheme, Scotland, who have their own assembly, are currently considering a similar scheme.  The scheme would inject £2m into the local economy, to help fund the replacement of older boilers that are less efficient.  Eligible Homeowners would be able to claim £400 towards the cost of replacing an inefficient boiler.

Scottish homeowners could soon be benefiting from efficient combi boilers or system boilers, depending on the configuration of their homes.

About Combi Boilers

Combi Boilers are now a really popular type of heating solution.  They provide hot water on demand, by heating the water before it runs to your tap.  They're ideal for new build properties, as you don't need to make space for hot water storage in an airing cupboard. This means that you can save energy, as a hot water cylinder has to re-heat water once is falls below a certain temperature.  Apart from new build properties, considering a combi boiler is ideal if you're planning on replacing both your boiler and your central heating radiators, as you're likely to need new pipework anyway.

If your gas safe registered heating installer advises you that your water pressure is good enough, we would recommend a condensing combi boiler.
