Yes, there are free boiler grants and schemes available for residents in Scotland. The main scheme is the Energy Company Obligation (ECO), which provides funding for energy efficiency improvements in homes across the UK, including Scotland.
Under the ECO scheme, low-income households or those living in properties with low energy efficiency ratings can receive grants for new boilers, insulation, and other energy-saving measures. The scheme is funded by energy suppliers and is designed to help reduce carbon emissions and alleviate fuel poverty.
To qualify for a free boiler grant, you will need to meet certain eligibility criteria, such as being a homeowner or private tenant, having a low income, and living in a property that has an energy efficiency rating of E, F or G.
To apply for a free boiler grant under the ECO scheme in Scotland, you can contact a local energy supplier or a trusted energy efficiency provider. They will be able to advise you on the application process and the eligibility criteria, and help you to access the funding that you need to improve the energy efficiency of your home.
