Nowon-gu Supports Eco-Friendly Boiler Installation Subsidies (200,000 KRW · 600,000 KRW)

Priority Support for Boilers Over 10 Years Old, 3,000 Units to Be Supported Until Budget Runs Out... 200,000 KRW for General Households, 600,000 KRW for Low-Income Families

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) is promoting the 2021 subsidy program for eco-friendly boilers for home use.

The aim is to reduce air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides emitted from old boilers and to expand the distribution of energy-efficient eco-friendly boilers.

The application period is from January until the budget is exhausted, with plans to support about 3,000 units.

The subsidy amount is 200,000 KRW per boiler for general households and 600,000 KRW for low-income households.

The eligible applicants are homeowners who replace boilers manufactured more than 10 years ago (before December 31, 2011) with eco-friendly boilers.

The subsidy applicants are dealerships or installation companies that sign contracts with actual consumers and supply and sell the boilers. After signing the purchase contract, they submit an application to the district office, and once the subsidy payment is confirmed, the boiler is installed.

Afterwards, the district office verifies the proper installation confirmation submitted by the installation company and then pays the subsidy. However, in cases of urgent replacement due to breakdowns where prior application was difficult, the purchaser can apply for the subsidy directly after installation.

It should be noted that eco-friendly boilers produce condensate, so installation may be restricted if piping installation is not possible. Before replacing the boiler, it is necessary to check with the construction company whether installation is feasible, and the home heating system must be individual heating.

If the budget remains after the first application period ends on September 30, additional support will be provided from October 1 to December 10 for boilers less than 10 years old.

Eco-friendly boilers must have an hourly evaporation rate of less than 0.1 tons (or heat output of 61,900 kcal) and be certified with the environmental label by the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute upon installation. Detailed certification status can be checked on the Environmental Label website.

For more information, contact the Green Environment Division for guidance.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, “We hope for great interest in the old boiler replacement support project, which not only reduces fuel costs through the replacement of energy-efficient eco-friendly boilers but also reduces air pollution.”
