Drxyster Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 The Boiler Scrappage Scheme has just finished in England. I was fortunate enough and very grateful to get the ?400.00 allowance before the scheme ended on March 26, 2010. Good old Pete Bennison and his team did a lovely job.I noticed however, that the scheme has now started in Wales, as of April 6, 2010. The allowance in Wales for Scrappage is ?500.00, one hundred pounds more than the scheme for us living in poor old England. Any comments from the good people of the EDF.

SteveT Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 The Welsh pound is worth 20% less than the English pound, or the plumbers have further to travel, possibly?or there are less boilers needing replacement or they had the same amount of money granted as England going around fewer householders.My final answer..........................................I haven't a clue and may I call a friend.

The Minkey Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 My family still live in Wales and the recession has hit them far worse than it has us down here and what jobs there are tend to pay less well. They get free prescriptions too - good luck to them.

Huguenot Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 The price differential is interesting.The Energy Saving Trust claim the England fund was not designed to pay for bolier replacement, but to raise awareness of the need for energy efficient boilers. They only had 125,000 vouchers in a market where there's 3.5m G class boilers.You also needed to be well heeled, since apparently you had to pay for the installation first, and claim the cash back later.That would make the bill around 50m, which is a helluva expensive ad campaign.However, the Wales campaign has a different agenda - in Wales the target is 'people in fuel poverty' and initially the over 60s.I guess the voucher reflects this different agenda: if you haven't got enough cash to heat your house to the point that you die of hypothermia, you're hardly likely to have much cash kicking around to pay for the price differential on the boiler installation.Likewise in Wales you don't pay first and claim back, you actually give the voucher to the plumber in lieu of payment.
