Is your boiler broken, in need of a repair or an annual service?
Let’s see if we can help.
Our heating schemes are here to make sure your boiler is safe, working properly, and is heating your home effectively.
It is estimated that your boiler accounts for 60% of your household energy bill, so by replacing an old inefficient boiler you could save up to £240 on your yearly heating bill.
1) NEP Boiler Replacement Scheme – grants of up to £1,000 available
If your boiler has stopped working (or is working intermittently) and is beyond repair, our charity fund can contribute up to £1,000 towards an ‘A’ rated combi boiler replacement. All grants are issued based on your circumstances and are subject to survey.
Are you eligible?
This scheme is for:
- Families with children under the age of 16, or children aged 16-20 in full time education
- People over the age of 60
The householder must also fulfill the following:
- Be a homeowner
- Have a boiler that is broken or working inefficiently/intermittently
- Have savings of no more that £8,000 (single person), £12,000 (couple)
- Annual income of less than £26,000 (single person) or for a couple £36,000 (two or more adults).
There will be an initial call out charge of at least £40 and up to £80, which will be taken off the cost of the repair or replacement if you proceed with the work. Please note that unfortunately we cannot offer this service to customers outside of a 16 mile radius of the city centre. The call out charge is non-refundable.
2) NEP Boiler Repair Scheme
If your boiler needs repairing, our charity fund can pay for 50% of the cost up to the value of £400. All work must be completed by our local approved contractor.
Are you eligible?
You will need to meet the same criteria as our NEP Boiler Replacement Scheme, please see above.
