Are these legitimate ?

I am on £13K a year and have a boiler which I am sure is inefficient......

Company called Affordable warmth suggest they are 100% to replace because the energy companies provide free grants.

Is this a scam or true ?

    If you search for the phrase 'affordable warmth' there are dozens of companies using that phrase, and I suspect they'll all be quite similar in trying to insert themselves in the chain between you and a grant in order to make a profit. Contact your energy provider in the first instance and ask them about the scheme.

    We got a free boiler via our local plumbers. To be honest I didn't question it, ours was totally broken, which with 4 kids in the house was a nightmare. They came, filled out the paperwork, sent it off and then came and fitted it. Brilliant.
    If you have a heating engineer you use then ask them?
