Residents who are Home owners and private tenants in the UK may qualify for the British Gas free boiler scheme because we are currently part of the EU, and the UK has been set very large targets to reduce the carbon footprint of all homes through the ECO scheme.
This Energy Company Obligation plays a huge part in hitting this target. Built in to everybody’s fuel bills is a small percentage of money which is paid towards ECO, the Green Tax.
This money is controlled by the Big Six energy suppliers and they are now obliged by the UK Government to fund the installation of Free Boiler Scheme and home insulation to low-income households and those who are most vulnerable
