New boiler grant

Hi, I’m looking for a new boiler as mine is 30 years old, inefficient, expensive etc etc

 nobody has a crystal ball but what do you think the odds are on the government rolling out some sort of boiler grant to help with bills given that post April the help is likely to be targeted?

 Ie is now a good time to buy or should I wait a bit in the hope of some sort of government grant?

  • I think the odds of a boiler grant are nearly zero given the government has already moved on to heat pumps.

    Also the government can't afford to pay for any discretionary spending at the moment!
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    I did look into those but the costs are ridiculous unless you’re in a new build!
