Alternative Solutions Affecting The Plumbing Industry

More people may be interested in plumbing courses now that the Scottish government has introduced a boiler scrappage scheme.

Homes with boilers which convert less than seventy % of fuel into heat will qualify for the scheme and may get cashback towards a new energy saving model.

The Scottish govt envisions that up to five thousand homes will have eligibility for the 400 grant towards the price of a new boiler, which can lead to more requests for plumbing courses as additional plumbers might be needed to deal with the demand.

Alex Neil, the Housing and Communities Minister, has argued that the new programme would help regenerate interest in plumbing jobs.

He said: "It is essential that homeowners are given every opportunity to make their homes more energy efficient if Scotland is to play its part in tackling the climate change."

"At the same time we are providing an economic stimulus for the heating industry, supporting jobs and helping it get through this financially difficult time."

" Mr Neil was backed by Robert Burgon, the Scottish and Northerly Eire Plumbing Companies Federation Director, who concluded the new scheme will augment the plumbing industry by making more roles.

He announced : " Thru the boiler scrappage scheme we intend to help folk replace shaky old boilers for new energy saving models and importantly, put cash back in the pockets of householders."

"Like many other industries the plumbing and heating sector has been badly hit by the recession and the scheme will prove a boost to many of our businesses."

" Folks interested in taking plumbing courses should act fast as Scottish homes will be in a position to make an application for the scheme thru the Scottish Government's Energy Saving Scotland recommendation network from May 24th.

The scheme will operate on a first come, first served basis and will last till all of the funds have been allotted.

The boiler scrappage scheme has been welcomed by WWF Scotland because the organization calculated that home energy use accounts for nearly one-third of Scotland's carbon emissions.

The Scottish government estimates that replacing 5,000 boilers will save around 5,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year - the equivalent to taking 1,700 cars off roads, heating the water for 7 million baths or heating 1,300 homes for a year.

England's boiler scrappage scheme, which was well received by the plumbing industry and shoppers, was introduced last year by the Labour central authority and finished on March 26th.
