Boiler grants in Scotland these days

Parpadew

Earlier in the year it seemed like grants might be made available to replace old boilers with greener tech but it's impossible to find any details. Does anyone have any good experiences of getting one?

(I'm not on any benefits so the answer might be tough luck, I know)

Thanks - I've seen this but all roads seem to lead to "you're not on benefits so here's a loan for a heat pump you don't want or sling your book". Why are the rules so wrapped in mystery? If they actually want people to switch they should publish the details step by step.

In your opening post, you said:

Greener tech to replace an old boiler is almost always a heat pump.

What other sources of heat are you expecting to find grants for?
