Yeosu City Expands Support for Installation of Eco-Friendly Household 'Low-NOx Boilers'

1,312 House Owners and Tenants... Applications Accepted Starting Next Month 1st

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Yeosu City (Mayor Kwon Oh-bong) announced on the 28th that it will significantly expand support for the installation of low-NOx boilers for households, which are effective in reducing fine dust and heating costs.

This measure is to reduce the burden on citizens following the mandatory installation of low-NOx boilers for households in Yeosu City under the Atmospheric Management Zone Act, which came into effect on April 3.

According to the city, 203 units were supported in the first phase during the first half of the year, and an additional 1,312 units will be supported in the second half.

The support amount is 200,000 KRW per boiler for general households and 500,000 KRW for low-income households.

Eligible applicants include homeowners within Yeosu City and tenants authorized by homeowners who have installed or plan to install boilers this year.

The supported boilers must be certified by the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute's environmental label, and only products with valid certification at the time of installation qualify.

Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis from the 1st of next month until the project budget is exhausted, and applications can be made through boiler dealerships.

Detailed information can be found in the announcement section on the city’s website, and inquiries can be directed to the Climate Environment Division.

A city official stated, “Low-NOx boilers emit fewer air pollutants and have higher energy efficiency compared to general boilers, resulting in improved air quality and reduced fuel costs,” and added, “We hope many citizens will apply.”
