Boiler Finance, A complete overview

Surviving without a boiler for most homes is difficult. The boiler heats water to enjoy showers, warm baths and wash dishes as well. Until the boiler is in good working condition, it is nice to enjoy this facility, but once it breaks down, there is lot of chaos as it is really expensive to replace or fix a boiler.

Boiler finance, this is a scheme that includes the upfront costs and new installation of an energy efficient boiler. The need for this scheme is owing to its high price. This scheme is a credit agreement allowing spreading costs over few years or months. It is referred to as flexible finance schemes that allow paying on monthly basis for a new boiler. These schemes must be signed only by checking if the deal is right and fair for you.

How they work

Boiler finance plans are available currently in England, Scotland and Wales boiler manufacturers, suppliers and most energy suppliers. Applying for a boiler finance scheme means you must provide your personal details as credit agreement. The finance options are given based on your credit checks and status.

Once you successfully apply for a scheme, the upfront charges and the installation costs are paid by the lender for the new boiler. This is done based on the agreement that you are agreeing to pay the lender back, through a set of monthly payments for agreed period.

There are many schemes of boiler finance available to suit your needs. They also come with different repayment plans suitable to most budgets. The overall finance plan is based on the amount you borrow and pay back to your creditor and it varies between your personal circumstances and schemes. Some schemes need upfront deposit, while some have higher rates of interest, while few others take a longer time for repayment.

It is mandatory to research with different suppliers for different options or price plans and to look for the right repayment plan. Make sure to keep up the agreed monthly repayments prior to signing an agreement.

How much repayment to be done?

There are many boiler finance packages and options available. Normally, the repayment is always more than your borrowed amount. It will include:

• Boiler cost and installation charges
• Interest applicable on the finance scheme offered
• Deposit paid as upfront
• Number of months spreading over payments

Generally, paying for a new boiler installation and its upfront cost by yourself is best, if you are able to afford it. Paying it outright means you enjoy a better ROI than paying through a boiler finance scheme for a longer period of time. Yet, the fact is that if your boiler has broken down and it is an emergency, opting for the boiler finance scheme is the right option.

When boiler finance is right for you:

• To replace an inefficient, old boiler with efficient, new boiler
• To install a new gas boiler
• To save on energy bill by installing A-rated gas combined boiler
• Unable to afford new boiler upfront costs and wish to spread over few months.
• Do not qualify for the free boiler government scheme
• Can afford to pay minimum repayments monthly
