Boiler scrappage scheme goes live

The Government announched the scrappage scheme which encourages people to ditch their old boiler for a new one in the pre-Budget report. It hopes the scheme will help cut CO2 emmissons - domestic heating accounts for 14 per cent of the UK's CO2 emissions. New boilers have rated efficiencies of 90 per cent or more meaning that they use less fuel, resulting in lower CO2 emissions and running costs. Renewable heat technologies do not use fossil fuels, reducing CO2 emissions still further. By upgrading your G-rated boiler to an A-rated one, your household heating bill should drop by about a quarter - a saving, on average, of around £235 a year.

People who apply to the scheme will receive their voucher on or after January 18.
