Free Boilers Upgrade

Boiler upgrades offer improved energy efficiency and enhanced heating performance, ensuring reliable and cost-effective warmth for your home. 

A home boiler is a central heating system that generates and distributes heat throughout a residence. It plays a crucial role in providing warmth and hot water, ensuring comfort during colder months. There are various types of home boilers, each with distinct features catering to different needs:

• Back Boiler Replacement Grant: A back boiler is an older heating system design that combines a central heating boiler and a small, open-flame fire. Typically located behind a fireplace, it heats water, which is then circulated to radiators and a hot water cylinder. Back boilers are often integrated with a fireplace, making them a discreet option for heating. Commonly situated behind the fireplace, they were a popular choice in older homes for their space-saving design.

• First Time Central Heating Grant: This grant is for homes with no central heating. First Time Central Heating Grants cover the cost of supplying and installing a central heating boiler together with radiators, the necessary pipework and heating control systems. You could be one of the thousands of people eligible for a free first-time central heating grant.

• Storage Heater Grants:Storage heaters store heat generated by cheaper night-time electricity and releasing this heat during the day. Most storage heaters are wall-mounted and look a bit like radiators. They use electricity to heat up a “bank” of ceramic or clay bricks inside them overnight.
• Combination Boilers (Combi): These compact units provide both heating and hot water on demand, eliminating the need for a separate water storage tank. They are space-efficient and energy-efficient.
• System Boilers: This type incorporates a water storage cylinder, ensuring a readily available supply of hot water. System boilers are suitable for homes with multiple bathrooms, delivering consistent water pressure.
• Conventional Boilers (Regular or Heat-Only): This traditional option includes a boiler, a hot water storage tank, and a cold-water tank. It’s ideal for larger homes with high hot water demand and multiple bathrooms.

At Unitec Energy Solutions, we’re committed to making your home more energy-efficient and helping to eradicate fuel poverty. Our grant service, supported by the government, is tailored to your needs, and that’s why we offer this free scheme to enhance your energy efficiency. With our assistance, you can enjoy a warmer and more environmentally friendly home while reducing your energy bills.

Boiler grants are part of the ECO4 scheme to help homeowners and low-income households replace their old boilers replaced for free. 

How They Work:

• Boilers operate by burning fuel (commonly gas or oil) to heat water, producing steam or hot water.
• The heat is then distributed through radiators, underfloor heating systems, or baseboard units.
• In the case of Combi boilers, hot water is generated on demand, whereas system and conventional boilers store hot water for later use.

Benefits:

• Energy Efficiency: Modern boilers are designed for high efficiency, reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills.
• Space Saving: Combi boilers, in particular, are compact and eliminate the need for bulky water storage tanks.
• Consistent Heating: Boilers provide a consistent and reliable heat source, ensuring a comfortable living environment.
• Cost Savings: Efficient operation and zoning capabilities contribute to long-term cost savings.

Home boilers offer a range of options to suit diverse heating and hot water needs, promoting energy efficiency, space optimization, and reliable performance.
