How Do I Get A Goverment Grant To Replace My Heating?

The Government is keen to encourage people to replace their old, inefficient boilers in favour of new, A-grade boilers that will not only help to cut the UK’s rising energy bills, but will also give off fewer CO2 emissions. If you’re thinking of installing some renewable energy products such as solar panels, ground source heat pumps, a biomass heater or even a small wind turbine, you might be able to get a grant from your energy provider. The government’s Low Carbon Building Programme has been extended until June 2010 for homeowners, so if you like the idea of generating your own energy at home using renewable sources, apply for a microgeneration grant of up to £2,500 from the Department for Business Enterprise & Regulatory Reform.
