British Gas is offering 20,000 households a gas replacement boiler as part its commitment to delivering energy efficiency in 2016.
The scheme will provide free or low cost gas boilers to almost 20,000 homeowners and tenants in receipt of income related benefits.
Head of strategic projects at British Gas, Angela Needle, said: “This new scheme will deliver more efficient gas boilers to more people for less money. In fact for most people it will be completely free.
“There are many benefits to installing a new boiler but increased efficiency means less energy usage and lower bills.”
A small contribution towards the cost of improvements is required only if the work means relocating the boiler, if the home is already energy efficient or if additional work such as installing a pump, extending flues or an electrical upgrade is required.
A new boiler could save consumers around £340 per year through reduced bills and non-British Gas customers can also qualify for the scheme.
