Upgrade Your Home with the Free Boiler Grant Scheme
Looking to replace your old, inefficient boiler with a modern, energy-efficient model at no cost? Fairway Energy is here to help you with the Free Boiler Grant scheme, part of the UK government’s ECO4 initiative.
What is the ECO4 Free Boiler Grant?
The ECO4 Free Boiler Grant is a government-backed initiative under the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. It encourages energy efficiency by offering free boiler replacements to eligible households, helping to tackle climate change while reducing energy costs for families across the UK.
Who Funds The ECO4 Grant & Free Boiler Scheme?
The ECO4 scheme is primarily funded by major energy companies in the UK. These companies are required to allocate a proportion of their profits to fund the scheme, which provides financial assistance for energy efficiency improvements in low-income and vulnerable households. This obligation ensures that energy companies contribute to reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption across the country. The funding supports a variety of measures, including insulation, new boilers, and renewable energy installations, helping to make homes more energy-efficient and reducing energy bills for those in need.
100% Government-Backed Scheme
The ECO4 program was introduced by the UK Government in April 2022 and will continue through to March 2026, offering £1 billion in annual grants that do not require repayment. That means NO COST TO YOU. This initiative is a valuable opportunity for many households.
ECO4 provides home energy improvements to cut energy costs, playing a crucial role in helping the UK meet its 2050 net-zero carbon goals, as well as lifting low-income households out of fuel poverty. As a result, numerous homes may receive free insulation along with new boiler installations and other energy-saving measures.
Therefore, seize this opportunity to get a free boiler, save on monthly energy bills, and enjoy a warmer, more efficient home. With Fairway Energy, you can trust in the quality and security of your home improvements.

Key eligibility requirements include:
- You are a homeowner or private tenant (landlord permission required for tenants).
- Your boiler is inefficient. You can check the efficiency of your current boiler here.
- You receive certain income-related benefits such as:
– Pension Credit (Guarantee Credit or Savings Credit)
– Income Support
– Universal Credit
– Working Tax Credit
– Child Tax Credit
– Jobseeker’s Allowance
– Employment and Support Allowance (income related) - Your property has a low energy efficiency rating (usually D or below on the EPC scale).
Some schemes now include a flexible eligibility route via local authorities, so even if you don’t receive benefits or do not qualify with us, it’s still worth checking with your local council for additional support.
Simply fill in the online eligibility checker above. You will need to provide information such as:
- Your postcode
- Address
- Resident status
- Property type
- Details of home improvements
- Benefit entitlement
- Name
- Address
- Contact information
This free eligibility checker will submit information to our application assessors who will give you an initial indication of whether you’re likely to qualify.
If you appear eligible, you’ll be invited to submit evidence of your eligibility.
You may be asked to provide:
• Proof of benefit entitlements (e.g. award letter or UC statement)
• Proof of ID and address
• Details about your current heating system
• Landlord permission (if you are a tenant)
If your application is successful, a qualified surveyor or heating engineer will visit your property to:
• Assess the condition and age of your existing boiler
• Conduct an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) assessment
• Confirm the technical feasibility of the installation
This survey usually takes up to 2 hours and it is important to ensure that the assessors have access to every room in your home.
Once the home survey is complete, your information is sent to the grant scheme administrator for final approval.
If approved:
- The grant will be confirmed
- You’ll receive a proposed installation date
An accredited gas safe engineer will visit your home to fit the new boiler. Installation typically takes 1-2 days for the boiler but up to 5 days if receiving other measures such as insulation.
The engineer will:
- Remove the old boiler
- Install the new energy-efficient boiler
- Test the system and explain how it works
- We take your old boiler away and dispose of it responsibly. In some cases, where the old boiler is particularly large, we may need to call a local scrap service to remove it, due to a large sized old boiler not fitting in our installation team’s vehicle. However, this is rare and in most instances your old boiler will be taken away the same day as installation.
All new boilers come with a manufacturers warranty (usually 5 years).
After installation, you should receive:
- A certificate of installation
- Manufacturer’s warranty documentation
- Instructions for boiler maintenance and service intervals
Please note any future boiler servicing and maintenance will be the responsibility of your landlord if you are a tenant, or yourself, if you are a homeowner.
- Keep benefit award letters and utility bills handy.
- Respond promptly to calls or emails from our team.
- Fairway Energy accreditations can be seen on our website. However, if you’re not using us, always check that the company is registered with Government TrustMark.
- From initial application, to installation, and all measures installed; this government-backed scheme is 100% free to eligible households. Therefore, we do not ask for any upfront or ongoing fees. However, if you are not using Fairway Energy, please do not pay any upfront fees to any other company unless a contribution is clearly explained and you have agreed to the extra cost.
Final Point
Applying for a free boiler grant can be a straightforward process when you know the steps. By following this guide, you’ll increase your chances of a successful application and enjoy the benefits of a warmer, more energy-efficient home — all at no cost.
What’s The Efficiency Rating of Your Current Boiler?
Under the ECO4 scheme, boiler eligibility is determined by efficiency ratings. Boilers with an efficiency rating below 86.7% may qualify under the scheme. Do you know the efficiency rating of your current boiler? Search our boiler table below to check the efficiency of your boiler.
Types of Boilers
The type of heating system installed will depend on your property’s characteristics and your resident status, in line with the ECO4 scheme. For homes connected to the gas grid, a combi boiler is typically the preferred choice due to its compact size, efficiency, and ability to provide hot water on demand. However, for tenanted properties or homes requiring a more sustainable approach, a hybrid system—which integrates a gas boiler with an electric heat pump—may be recommended. This ensures a balance between efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact, aligning with the latest energy efficiency standards. Our team carefully assesses each property to install the most suitable system, ensuring optimal performance and long-term savings for residents.
