Oil boiler grants

Posts: 3 Newbie

We live in a property built in the 60s with the original boiler. We are on oil and the boiler is inefficient and coming to the end of its life. Does anyone now of any grants available to replace the boiler for a more efficient one and reduce our carbon footprint.
I have looked on line but all the ones I've found require us to be on benefits.
Look forward to the responses.

Only the replace oil boiler with Air Source Heat Pump grants are available to all, shortly. That is claimed to reduce carbon footprint 'cos they ignore the burning of fossil fuels to power the grid.
But do you want to go to that expense for the ASHP (and larger rads for lower water flow temps) when a condensing oil boiler will be cheaper to run (probably), and you may need electric supply uprating to cope, too.
50+ years of boiler life - you won't get that from a new oil or ashp either.0
