Do you receive income-related benefits in Pontefract, such as tax credits, income support, ESA or JSA? If so, you could potentially have your old boiler replaced with a brand new one for little to no cost.

As well as having the required combination of benefits, your current boiler should be more than 7 years old. If it is not, the scheme assumes that it would be more cost-effective to repair your current boiler rather than replace it.

Some benefits mean you will qualify for a boiler grant automatically. With others, you may need to have an extra qualifying component. These include being of a certain age or being responsible for a child under the age of 16. 

If you don’t claim any benefits, you could still consider paying monthly for your new boiler.
