What is the UK Government Boiler Scheme?  

The Government boiler scheme (part of ECO4 and ECO Flex) helps low-income households, pensioners, and vulnerable individuals upgrade to modern, A-rated boilers. The goal is to reduce energy usage, cut heating bills, and improve home efficiency across the UK.

At Eltron Energy, we’re proud to be a trusted and certified installer helping homeowners access government-backed boiler grants under schemes like ECO4, ECO Flex, and the 0% VAT initiative. We handle everything — from checking your eligibility to completing the free boiler installation — ensuring a smooth, compliant, and stress-free process.

  • Your property is off the gas grid and located in a rural area in England or Wales
  • Your existing boiler has an emissions certificate that meets environmental standards
  • You’re a homeowner or tenant in private or social housing

Free Boiler Replacement for Pensioners

Free Boiler Replacement for Pensioners

At Eltron Energy, we’re committed to helping pensioners across the UK access free boiler replacements under the government-backed ECO4 scheme. If you’re retired and meet certain criteria, you could receive a brand-new A-rated boiler installed completely free of charge — with no hidden costs.

As a pensioner you may be eligible for a free boiler grant if:

  • You receive Pension Credit (Guarantee Credit or Savings Credit)
  • You’re over 60 and receive Working Tax Credit
  • Your current boiler is over 8 years old or inefficient
  • Your home has a low EPC rating (D or below)

Free Boilers for Pensioners Not on Benefits

Not receiving any income-based benefits? You could still qualify for a free boiler replacement thanks to the ECO4 Flex scheme, which offers local authority flexibility for households in vulnerable or low-income situations. With the LA Flex (Local Authority Flexibility) scheme, pensioners not claiming means-tested benefits can still access free boiler replacements.

At Eltron Energy, we help you secure a free boiler installation even if you fall outside traditional eligibility by working closely with your local authority under the ECO4 Flex framework.

LA Flex Boiler Grant Eligibility:  

You may qualify if:

  • You’re a homeowner living in the property
  • Your household income is below £31,000 per year
  • You do not receive income-related benefits
  • Your home has an EPC rating of E, F, G, or no EPC at all
  • You have a serious health condition made worse by cold temperatures (e.g. respiratory issues, heart conditions, mobility issues)
  • Your current boiler is non-condensing and inefficient

✅ Upgraded to energy-efficient A-rated boilers

Boiler Grants for Disabled Individuals

Boiler Grants for Disabled Individuals

Living with a disability shouldn’t mean living in the cold. That’s why Eltron Energy supports disabled individuals through free boiler grants, even if you’re not currently receiving Universal Credit or other income-based benefits.

Who Can Qualify?

You may be eligible if:

  • You have a long-term physical or mental health condition that impacts your wellbeing
  • Your boiler is outdated or no longer efficient
  • Your income is below £31,000 annually (under ECO4 Flex)
  • You live in a cold or poorly insulated home

Free Boiler for Disabled People (Not on Benefits)

FAQs  (Frequently Asked Questions)    

Eligibility depends on the specific scheme. Under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, your home must be off the gas grid and located in a rural area in England or Wales. You must also have a boiler that meets emissions standards. Other schemes like ECO4 or LA Flex consider income level, health conditions, EPC rating, and whether you’re receiving certain government benefits.

Absolutely. With this scheme can significantly improve your home’s efficiency and comfort—without the heavy upfront cost.

Yes. If your current boiler is over 8 years old and inefficient, you may qualify for a replacement grant through ECO4 or LA Flex—especially if your home has a low EPC rating or you meet income or health criteria.

Yes, if you’re over 60, especially if you receive benefits like Pension Credit or Working Tax Credit, you could qualify for a free boiler. Even if you’re not on benefits, you might still be eligible through LA Flex, which helps low-income or vulnerable households.

Yes. Homeowners are eligible under schemes like ECO4, ECO4 Flex, and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme—as long as they meet the specific qualifying criteria related to income, benefits, property efficiency, or boiler age.

You may qualify through ECO4 Flex if someone in your household has a long-term health condition such as:

  • Asthma or COPD
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Arthritis or limited mobility
  • Diabetes
  • Immunosuppressed conditions

Definitely. Older boilers are less energy-efficient and can cost more to run. Replacing a 20-year-old boiler with an A-rated energy-efficient model can reduce heating bills and carbon emissions significantly—and may be free under current government schemes.

Generally, any boiler 8 years or older is considered inefficient and may qualify for a grant under schemes like ECO4. Boilers over 15–20 years old are highly recommended for replacement.

While Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is not a qualifying benefit under ECO4 by itself, you may still be eligible through ECO4 Flex if you have additional health conditions or meet income-related criteria.

Yes. If you receive Universal Credit, you may qualify for a free boiler grant under the ECO4 scheme, as it’s one of the core government benefits recognized for eligibility.
