Vouchers will be allocated on a first come first serve basis, up until the budget cap for the financial year is reached. Any Microgeneration Certification Scheme certified installer who is able to meet the eligibility criteria and provide the required evidence at voucher application will be eligible to apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.

Vouchers will have a limited validity period to ensure unused vouchers are returned and recycled in a timely manner.

The customer will also need to consent to the voucher application, which will prevent speculative bulk applications being made.
