Daejeon City Supports Installation of Low-NOx Boilers for Home Use

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City announced on the 6th that it will accept applications for participation in the low-NOx boiler installation subsidy program from the 11th of this month to the 10th of next month.

The subsidy amount is 200,000 KRW per unit for general citizens, and 600,000 KRW per unit for recipients of livelihood benefits under the National Basic Livelihood Security Act and the lower-income bracket.

The project budget is 665 million KRW, and the city expects to support the installation of 3,325 low-NOx boilers.

Applications can be submitted by delegating to authorized boiler suppliers such as boiler dealerships and equipment companies after signing a purchase contract, or by directly filling out the subsidy application form and submitting it in person or by mail to the environmental department of each district office.

For application forms, required documents, and other detailed information, please refer to the announcement posted on the Daejeon City Hall website or contact the Fine Dust Response Division of Daejeon City Hall or the environmental department of the district office.

Meanwhile, household low-NOx boilers refer to products certified with the low-NOx boiler environmental label by the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute, defined as boilers with an evaporation rate of less than 0.1 tons per hour or a heat output of less than 61,900 kcal per hour.

Low-NOx boilers are known to reduce annual fuel costs by up to 130,000 KRW compared to regular boilers.

Previously, the city provided installation subsidies for 10,274 low-NOx boilers with a budget of 2.4 billion KRW until October.

Im Muk, Director of the Environmental Greenery Bureau of the city, said, “Low-NOx boilers are effective in improving air quality and reducing fuel costs,” and added, “We ask citizens planning to replace old boilers to take a keen interest in low-NOx boilers and participate actively in the program.”
