   New Government cash to replace your boiler and save you up to £235 a year in fuel bills
Worsley MP Barbara Keeley is encouraging people in Worsley and Eccles South to take advantage of the Government’s new Boiler Scrappage scheme to upgrade their household heating systems. Households who have older model ‘G-rated’ boilers can apply through the Energy Saving Trust for a £400 voucher to replace their boiler with a more modern and efficient ‘A-rated’ model. This could save households up to £235 a year in fuel bills for many years to come. Barbara said: “I encourage people in Worsley and Eccles South with an old G-rated boiler to get in touch with the Energy Saving Trust to receive a £400 voucher towards replacing it with a modern model. Not only with this save people money in the long term – up to £235 a year in fuel bills – but the scheme will also give a big boost to local industry and help keep people in jobs. “Households will be free to choose who they want to appoint to do the work, provided the work is undertaken by registered installers. So, this is also an opportunity for people to support local Salford businesses. “The scheme will also help to bring us closer to our carbon emission reduction targets. There are currently three and a half million homes in England with inefficient G-rated boilers. Replacing these with greener models will save an amount of carbon dioxide a year which is the equivalent to taking 45,000 cars off the road.”
