20.05.10 Hunt for Britain's oldest boiler
Not many of us would rejoice in the fact that we struggle each winter with an ancient boiler. However, as a result of a recent initiative from energy supplier, npower, this could be distinctly beneficial.
Earlier this year, the government launched a new scheme for scrapping old boilers, under which homeowners who were replacing their G-rated boilers could be rewarded with £400 towards a new energy efficient system.
Intrigued and inspired by their engineers uncovering some weird and wonderful ancient systems which would not have looked out of place on Antiques Roadshow, npower have launched a hunt for the oldest boiler in Britain. The lucky winner will receive £3,000 towards the cost and installation of a new A-rated energy-efficient system.
The competition does not close until 30 June but in the event of a draw the winner will be the first of the tied entries to have been received so it is advantageous to be quick off the mark. For full details of how to enter, send an email to kate.dawson@europe.mccann.com. The competition is open to home owners only and does not cover commercial properties.
Even after the official government scrappage scheme ended, npower pledged to continue giving customers an allowance towards a more modern system. For further details of npower’s own scrappage scheme see their website.
The energy supplier is set to delight not only owners of old boilers but also football fans with their new Wallace and Gromit advert “Hand of Dog”, supporting England’s bid for the 2018 World Cup.
