Utility company offers grant system
Eligible customers can save money on gas bills
Npower has launched its Warm Home Grant, which offers eligible customers a £350 grant to go towards the cost of replacing old boilers. It follows news that Warm Front funding will be on hold until April 2011.
Similar to Warm Front’s grant, it will be available from npower for residents aged 60 or over, who own or privately rent their home. The grant can be used against the installation of a new A-rated energy efficient boiler. It is said that npower is the first energy supplier to offer the grant, which will be available until the end of March, when Warm Front applications re-open.
Joan Coe, marketing manager of npower’s home team, says: “The Government’s Warm Front scheme plays a vital role in making homes warmer, healthier and more energy efficient. Whilst we felt our Warm Front funding was vital to play our part in supporting the nation by offering our own £350 grant for residents replacing a boiler that is more than ten years old.
“New A-rated boilers are over 90% efficient but older boilers might be less than 60% efficient, which not only means that for every £1 spent on gas heating 40p is wasted, but that these boilers are more susceptible to breaking down. This can pose a health and safety risk to homeowners as well as having financial implications, so we’re pleased to be able to make the commitment until March 2011.”
The npower Warm Home Grant will be available across England and will not only offer savings on boiler installation but apparently will also help residents save money on gas bills.
