Warm Welcome for Boiler Scrappage Scheme
announcement of a greener home heating incentive in the Government’s Pre-Budget Report, 9th December 2009. The Boiler Scrappage Scheme is available to anyone who replaces a G-rated boiler with a modern boiler, or a renewable heating unit. “We were initially concerned that the scheme would only look at replacing old gas boilers for new gas boilers, which would have penalised green technologies such as air source heat pumps, so we are delighted that they have been included in the scheme,” said John Kellett, General Manager of Mitsubishi Electric’s Heating Systems Division.
