Boiler Grants in Wales – Free Boiler Scheme for 2025

If you live in Wales and your boiler is old, inefficient, or broken, you could be eligible for a completely free replacement under the ECO4 scheme or LA Flex grant route. These government-backed grants are helping Welsh households cut energy bills and stay warm through the winter — with no upfront cost.

Can You Get a Free Boiler in Wales?

Yes! Homeowners and tenants across Wales can qualify if:

  • They receive qualifying benefits (Universal Credit, Pension Credit, etc.)
  • Or they’re approved through LA Flex by their local council
  • Their property has an EPC rating of D–G
  • The current boiler is at least 15 years old

How the ECO4 Scheme Works in Wales

The ECO4 scheme is available UK-wide, including all Welsh local authorities. Council partners and approved installers handle the process from start to finish, so you don’t need to worry about paperwork or contacting your council directly.

Grants cover 100% of the cost — there are no loans or repayments. If you qualify, you’ll get a brand new, energy-efficient boiler installed by trusted local contractors.

LA Flex in Wales – Council Approval Route

Many Welsh councils offer LA Flex options for those not on benefits. Councils like Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, and Wrexham have local flexibility routes to help more residents qualify.

LA Flex allows approvals based on age, income, and health risks — not just benefits. If you’re not sure if you qualify, it’s always worth applying.
