Grant for replacing old oil boiler

Options
We are desperately looking for a grant to replace our 20 year old oil boiler.
All I can find are grants for electric or gas boilers We have no mains gas here and electric will be too expensive for us as we receive pension credit and have no savings.
Does anyone have any suggestions please where I can find a grant.?

    I don't think oil counts unless you are replacing it with something significantly more eco friendly, like gas or bio-mass. Not even sure if replacing it with LPG would give you a grant either
    Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers
  • You should look at renewables like biomass or heat pumps as they will receive incentive payments over 7 years. If you can't afford the initial outlay there are companies who will potentially fit for free and they get the incentive payments .

    How is gas more eco-friendly than oil? They're both fossil fuels.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
