If you’re involved with the construction of new build properties, you’ll understand the importance of trusted plumbers Bristol. Undertaking large projects like new builds involves a hefty investment, and unreliable contractors can hold up construction causing missed deadlines and lost profits.

If you’re a construction company, homeowner or housing association manager looking for assurances before you hire, Gas World Ltd can help.

We have had many people asking us about the Boiler Scrappage Scheme and what is involved in order to receive the £400 saving.  Here are a few questions and answers which should help clarify things for you:

What is the purpose of the boiler scrappage scheme?

The UK has one of the most ambitious CO2 emission reduction targets in the world. The installation of an efficient heating system is an effective way of reducing household energy bills and CO2 emissions, as domestic heating accounts for 14 per cent of the UK’s CO2 emissions.
There are currently around three and a half million homes in England with the very least efficient type of boiler (G-rated or worse).

To address this the Government is offering up to 125,000 households £400 towards the cost of upgrading their boiler (if G-rated or equivalent or worse) to a high efficiency A-rated one or a renewable heating technology. This will help to save in the region of 140,000tCO2 per year - equivalent to taking 45,000 cars off the road.

What does the scheme involve?

The Boiler Scrappage Scheme allows Homeowners and Landlords to receive £400 cashback if they upgrade their old ‘G’ rated boiler for a new ‘A’ rated, high efficiency boiler or renewable heat technologies.

What are the benefits in upgrading your boiler?

New boilers have rated efficiencies of 90 per cent or more meaning that they use less fuel, resulting in lower CO2 emissions and running costs. Renewable heat technologies do not use fossil fuels, reducing CO2 emissions still further.
For example, this means by upgrading your G-rated boiler to an A-rated one, your household heating bill should drop by about a quarter - a saving, on average, of around £235 a year.

Who is eligible for the scheme?

The scheme is open to 125,000 householders in England living in an owned or privately rented home.

Please note:

Only householders and landlords who privately own and rent dwellings are eligible to apply for a voucher. Boiler installers and manufacturers, local authority registered social landlords, and housing associations are not eligible to apply.

How can you tell if your boiler is G-rated?

A good quick test for gas boilers is to see if it has a permanent pilot light -if it has then it is very likely to be a G-rated boiler. If it is gas fired and over fifteen years old it is likely to be eligible. If it is oil fired and over twenty five years old, it is likely to be eligible.
For a better idea, why not see if your boiler make and model is listed as G-rated or worse by going to

• Government Boiler Efficiency Database
• SEDBUK Boiler Efficiency Database

Alternatively, you can ask us And we will assist you in determining whether your boiler is eligible.

Want to register an interest in the boiler scrappage scheme?

If you believe that your home has a G-rated or worse boiler and wish to register an interest in the scheme to receive a £400 cashback voucher towards the cost of upgrading to an A-rated boiler, then contact ourselves and we will arrange to visit your property and provide you with a quote. Once you have received your quote, contact ACT ON CO2 advice line on 0800 512 012

They will then send you an application form in order to apply for the scheme

When will the vouchers be issued?

The £400 vouchers will be issued from 18 January 2010. You will receive the voucher approximately ten days after application. Vouchers are valid for 12 weeks from date of issue. If the voucher is not redeemed within this time, it will be cancelled and reallocated. There will be only one voucher per household, but if the voucher expires, it will be possible to apply for another if funds are available.

Installations made before receipt of your voucher will invalidate your claim and you will no longer be eligible to receive the £400 rebate.

Please note that no vouchers will be sent out before 18. January 2010.

Which boilers and boiler manufacturers can the vouchers be redeemed against?

Vouchers can be redeemed against a boiler from manufacturer which is for A-rated or equivalent gas, oil or LPG boilers, boilers with a Passive Flue Heat Recovery Device, Micro CHP units or Microgeneration Certification Scheme-registered biomass boilers and heat pumps. Solar Thermal is also eligible if combined with an eligible boiler replacement. Electric boilers are not eligible.

How will payment of the £400 be made?

Once you have received your voucher, you can then proceed with the installation. You will need to pay for the new boiler and installation upfront and then claim back the £400 by sending the voucher and invoice to us. If you proceed with your installation before you receive your voucher, this will invalidate your claim and you will no longer be eligible for the £400 rebate.

Payment will be issued within 25 working days of receipt of the voucher and invoice.

Winter is soon going to be upon us and with nights already becoming darker earlier, now is the time to look into having your boiler serviced by fully trained and professional plumbers.

If you reside in the Gloucester , Bath and South West area, then you may be keen to know that there are the professional companies such as Gas World Ltd that can service your boiler to check it will take you through to spring.

Many home across Britain have central heating and therefore need to be informed of those companies that can provide a valuable service. Having your boiler checked is something that is an essential part of ensuring your central heating system remains in good nick.

Looking out for a professional company doesn’t need to be difficult. There are those that provide an installation, servicing and maintenance service for both commercial and domestic central heating systems.

Specialist providers of plumbers Gloucester pride themselves on their after service care. This is all incorporated into their sensible and affordable pricing scheme so there are no surprise charges that will be incorporated without your knowledge.

Due to their care to attention and detail, Gasworld Ltd have built up strong relationships with their previous customers, to which they come back time again to check over central heating systems when problems occur or for routine maintenance.

It is important to ensure you are in safe hands, especially in winter when it is important to have warmth and comfort. Before choosing a company to service your boiler, have a look at what else they have to offer. Make sure you choose a company that not offer security that your boiler and central heating will last throughout the season, but offer a friendly, professional service to match.

Crest Nicholson, one of the nations biggest housing developers, selected Gas World Limited as there chosen contractor to carry out all the heating and plumbing works on a new Eco Development in Street, Somerset. This development consists of 78 Houses and 60 Apartments.

These properties incorporate solar powered heating/ hot water systems and water butts in order to store and recycle collected rain water for use on the outside areas.  Gas World worked closely with both Crest Nicholson and the Boiler and Solar Panel manufacturers, Baxi, to finalise the optimum heating and hot water designs for each property.

Through optimising the performance of the of the solar panels, in some properties we are able to generate 100% of the  properties hot water needs through the solar panels alone.

As selected partners of North Somerset Housing Ltd t/a nshousing.  We were asked to carry out the renewal of the heating systems in 48 of the 52 flats within the block which were yet to have their heating upgraded.  The current systems were approximately 15 – 20 years old and run off of a gas fired, Floor Mounted, Ideal Mexico combination boilers.  Nshousing wanted to replace the existing boilers, radiators and controls but utilise the existing pipework wherever possible.  Nshousing had selected to fit Worcester 28i Junior condensing combination boilers with Stelrad Elite radiators as specified on all Nshousing works.  Along with having the heating systems replaced, each property were also having new kitchens fitted.

As the central heating boilers needed to be located in the kitchens, it was important that we worked closely with the kitchen fitters to ensure that all the kitchen designs incorporated the needs of the heating system & visa versa.  It was decided that the best way to do this was to for our Tenant Liaison Officer to visit with the kitchen surveyor, this not only allowed both parties to discuss the best designs for the central heating system and kitchen but also limits the disruption to the tenants.

Upon initially approaching us to install heating in his new property he was building on the outskirts of Nailsea, nr Bristol, Mr Jim Bragg, initially asked us to provide him with quotations to install an Oil or LPG fuelled heating system within the proposed 4 bed house.

Upon assessing the plans and discussing the requirements through with Mr Bragg, we were able to offer an energy and cost saving alternative in the form of Air Source Heat Pumps supplying both his hot water and the proposed underfloor heating.  Although, marginally more expensive to install, The Daikin Air Source Heat Pumps not only reduced CO2 Emission to around half that of oil and LPG fuelled boilers but also reduced the running costs to only 38% of a high efficiency, oil fuelled boiler.

Upon hearing our proposal, Mr Bragg jumped at the idea of Air Source Heat Pumps and dually ask ourselves to carry out the works.  Upon visiting our Showroom, Mr Bragg was also taken by the selection of LPG fuelled fires we had on display and subsequently also ordered a Flavel Honest to have installed while we were installing the heating system.
