WORCESTER, ENGLAND, March 28, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- npower has become the first energy supplier to pledge to continue its boiler scrappage scheme once the Government scheme closes.
The Government's
boiler scrappage scheme launched in January and in the first six weeks alone, over 50,000 households benefited from the initiative*, from a total allocation of 125,000.
npower became the first energy supplier to launch its own boiler scrappage scheme when it promised to match the Government's GBP400 grant. The combination of the two scrappage schemes means customers could be eligible to receive as much as GBP800 towards the cost of a new boiler, when replacing a G rated boiler with an energy efficient A rated boiler.
Kevin Miles, CEO npower retail, said: "The scrappage scheme has proven to be extremely popular and if take-up continues at the same rate, we expect the Government's scheme to close in April. However, there are still approximately four million households with G-Rated boilers in the UK, which is why we are pledging to continue npower's boiler scrappage scheme."
npower's scheme differs from the Government's scheme in that customers only have to have a boiler that is over 10 years old to be eligible to receive a GBP400 discount on a new
boiler installation from npower hometeam.
In addition to the discount, the hometeam installation service includes SEDBUK A rated energy efficient boilers and a free warranty of up to five years on all Valiant boilers, with a 10 year warranty on radiators.
