The Welsh boiler scrappage scheme will be launched 6 April 2010.Then the scheme will be open to applications from homeowners over the age of 60. Successful applicants will be offered a voucher worth £500 which can be used to help replace G-rated boilers with A-rated boilers.

The boiler scrappage scheme will be managed alongside our Home Energy Efficiency Scheme by Eaga Cymru.
