Fantastic news about the boiler scrappage scheme - hopefully this will be a real boost for the heating industry

Happy New Year everyone! Great to see the boiler scrappage scheme get its official launch today.

Does the scrappage scheme go far enough? 125,000 will go pretty quick... And does it merely help those who can afford a new boiler anyway?

If going for a Boiler Scrappage grant, please get at least 3 quotes to make sure you get a good price for the job!. PLEASE RT
