Free Boilers
A few days ago, a contact was telling me that she had a free boiler fitted by British gas on the grounds that her late husband was disabled. I assume he received DLA or PIP.
Both the husband and wife were retired professional people on, I should think, very good private pensions as well as the State Pension.
This is obviously not a means-tested service. It struck me that my now deceased family probably lost out on a small fortune over about 25 years. Now I'm by myself on a minute income but no income-related benefits:
Thus, my questions:
- How do you get a free boiler and how old does your current boiler have to be to be replaced? Mine is relatively new.
- Is there help towards new/ additional radiators?
Comments

if your boiler is gas and not a condenser type I think it qualifies.

It's a combi-boiler. It's only 4 years old but I suppose they start going downhill after 5 years.
I don't qualify. The criteria have probably changed:

I had my last combi boiler for 18 years. I had yearly services to ensure everything was working as it should.

Yes an annual service is important.

tells me that BIOMASS boilers are not free - but with a grant !!
Avoid any websites that say otherwise.
