If you as a Boiler or Central Heating Installer, Manufacturer or Supplier wish your details to appear within the GBSS Quick Directory  – please see HERE.. for details.

However, if you wish to have a more bespoke advertisement – please Contact Us for further details. Thank you..!!

All plumbers and installers of Gas, LPG and Oil fired boilers or central heating equipment who wish to list their details on the Government-Boiler-Scrappage-Scheme.co.uk web portal MUST first Register and provide full business details, contact details and associated professional qualifications (Gas Safe, OFTEC registration etc) with their listing.

Homeowners and Tenants should check the validity of anyone offering to provide professional services relating to installation, removal or repairs of Gas, LPG or Oil fired equipment. You can check-out the advertisers details by clicking on the appropriate link contained within the “Useful Links” section (on the right of every page!)

In ALL cases, check that your installer has recent qualifications in energy efficiency.
The Gas Safe Register or OFTEC can confirm this. If the installation is for an oil-fired boiler, an alternative would be to ask your installer if they hold a Certificate in Energy Efficiency for Domestic Heating or an equivalent qualification.

The 125,000 £400 rebate vouchers for the Government Boiler Scrappage Scheme have now been snapped-up.
During the Chancellors Budget on Wednesday 24th March 2010 there was no mention of extending the scheme to the other 4 million owners of SEDBUK G rated boilers. Although, some energy companies are still offering incentives to off-set the funding that is no longer available from the UK Government..!!

Figures that have been recently released show that up to the 16th March (2010) 118,785 out of the 125,000 vouchers had already been allocated, with a total of 35,390 new A rated boilers having been fully installed.

According to Lord Hunt (the Energy & Climate Change Minister)…
“The scheme has been a great success and is already helping people cut down on their fuel bills. An A-rated energy efficient boiler can help save around £200 a year off fuel bills and reduce emissions.

The scheme has also provided a much needed boost to England’s plumbers and boiler manufacturers, helping to sustain work for the 130,000 installers and up to 25 UK-based boiler manufacturers throughout the economic recovery.”

We will be publishing further information as soon as it becomes available for public release…!!

In Brief….

If you plan to change your SEDBUK Band G rated boiler for a SEDBUK Band A rated high-efficiency condensing combi-boiler, whether GAS, LPG or OIL fuelled (or some other form of renewable heat technology, such as Solar or Wind powered), then you should be eligible for the boiler scrappage scheme payment of £400..?
