Boiler Scrappage Scheme Open for Business

Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP) has welcomed the announcement by the Scottish Government of the £2m boiler scrappage scheme which will cut household bills.

Up to 5,000 households in Scotland can claim £400 off the cost of a new boiler under the Energy Saving Scotland scheme from today (Monday), giving thousands of people the opportunity to install a greener boiler.

Mr. McMillan said;

"This scheme is a fantastic way to improve energy efficiency and could cut the average household heating bill in Inverclyde by around £235 a year.

"As the scheme operates on a first come, first served basis I would encourage homeowners in Inverclyde to call 0800 512 012 today or visit the energysavingtrust.org.uk website.

"The scheme not only enables people to get rid of old, inefficient boilers it also supports heating industry jobs at a crucial time for the economy".
