Gimhae City Supports Replacement Costs for Eco-Friendly Low-NOx Boilers

200,000 KRW for General Households, 500,000 KRW for Low-Income Families

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] Gimhae City will support part of the replacement cost for eco-friendly low-NOx boilers.

According to Gimhae City on the 29th, this support covers a total of 130 units, including 100 units for general households and 30 units for low-income groups (recipients of basic livelihood security and near-poverty class), with support amounts of 200,000 KRW for general households and 500,000 KRW for low-income groups.

Eco-friendly low-NOx boilers have about 12% higher thermal efficiency than regular boilers and reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx), one of the causes of fine dust, to about one-eighth. For households spending 1,000,000 KRW annually on heating, it is expected to save about 130,000 KRW per year.

The support target includes Gimhae citizens who replace household regular boilers with low-NOx boilers, and tenants authorized by the homeowner can also apply. Applications can be made through each boiler supplier from the 28th until February 24th.

A city official said, "This year, the Special Act on Air Quality Improvement will be enforced from April 3rd," adding, "Since the installation of eco-friendly boilers will be mandatory when replacing household boilers, we will secure additional budgets to ensure that more citizens can benefit."
