Boiler Upgrades & Replacement - Euro Energy Group

Boiler Upgrades

Heating bills account for about 55% of what we spend in a year on energy bills, so it makes sense to ensure you have the most efficient boiler that will help you save money. Today’s central heating boilers are much better than the old ones. They can heat water more efficiently, meaning they use less gas or oil to do the same job.

Boiler upgrades, why should you upgrade yours?

Well-maintained boilers will burn fuel very efficiently, using less energy to heat your home and can save you £100’s on your energy bills each year. Many homes still have outdated non-condensing boilers which at best are only 60%-70% efficient, meaning 30%-40% of the energy produced is completely wasted.

Multiply this wastage by an entire street, town or the whole of the UK, and it’s clear to see why the Government have stepped in to handle the growing energy crisis. Modern boilers are now about 90% efficient that’s much better. It also means there’s much less CO² being released into the atmosphere from the wasted gas.

The combination of a new, efficient Combi-Boiler and a responsive and programmable digital controller reduces your energy consumption, saves you money and ensures you avoid boiler breakdowns for the foreseeable future.

Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)

The government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) initiative in England and Wales encourages homeowners to replace dated, fossil fuel heating systems with more efficient low-carbon alternatives, such as heat pumps or biomass boilers.

The scheme aims to contribute to the UK’s net-zero emissions targets by encouraging the adoption of more sustainable heating technologies.

Key features:

Grants: The BUS offers upfront capital grants to help cover the cost of installation. As of September 2023, the grant amount is £7,500 for air—and ground-source heat pumps and £5,000 for biomass boilers.
Eligibility: The scheme is open to domestic and non-domestic properties in England and Wales. The property must not have received previous government funding for low-carbon heating systems to be eligible.
Application process: Installers make applications on behalf of property owners. The installer must be registered with the scheme, and the installed system must meet specific technical requirements.
Funding: The BUS has been extended until April 2028, with a total of £1.5 billion in additional funding allocated.

Benefits:

Reduced carbon emissions: Transitioning to a low-carbon heating system will help combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Lower energy bills: Heat pumps and biomass boilers can be more energy-efficient than traditional fossil fuel systems, potentially lowering energy bills.
Improved energy security: The scheme contributes to the UK’s energy security by reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Financial support: The BUS’s grants can significantly offset the upfront costs.
