British Gas kicks off government's boiler scrappage schemeBritish Gas has announced it will match-fund the government's £400 boiler scrappage allowance. This means customers buying a new boiler from British Gas can cut the cost by £800 this winter. News of the British Gas imitative came as the administration's national scheme, announced in December's Pre Budget Report, kicked off. From today up to 125,000 households in England with working "G-rated" boilers can apply through the Energy Saving Trust for a voucher which will entitle them to £400 off the price of a new, modern "A-rated" boiler or a renewable heating system like a biomass boiler or a heat pump. British Gas's match-funding deal is available from tomorrow (Wednesday 6 January 2010). Energy secretary Ed Miliband said: "The Boiler Scrappage Scheme will save around £200 off heating bills per year for families that are replacing their old boilers, and in total will save the same amount of carbon equivalent to taking around 45,000 cars off the road".
