"Helping Eco-Friendly Heating"... Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Supports Installation Costs for Residential 'Low-NOx Boilers'

This Year, First-Come-First-Served Eco-Friendly Replacement, 100,000 KRW per Device and 600,000 KRW Benefits for Low-Income Households

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will provide installation cost support if old boilers for general household use are replaced with energy-efficient 'Low-NOx boilers.'

Hapcheon-gun plans to support 220 eco-friendly household Low-NOx boilers (200 for general households, 20 for low-income households) with a total budget of 32 million KRW, as city gas is supplied for the first time this year.

The support amount is 100,000 KRW for general households and 600,000 KRW for low-income households such as basic livelihood security recipients and near-poverty groups when replacing with Low-NOx boilers. Applications will be accepted from February 9 on a first-come, first-served basis until the project budget is exhausted.

The Low-NOx boilers to be replaced are boilers with an hourly evaporation capacity of 0.1t and a calorific value below 61,900 kcal, and must be products certified with the environmental label by the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute.

Low-NOx boilers are eco-friendly boilers that improve combustion methods by installing Low-NOx burners, which have high energy efficiency and a high effect of reducing nitrogen oxides by absorbing and recycling heat when emitting exhaust gases.

However, installation may be restricted in places where condensate piping installation is not possible, so it is necessary to check the possibility of installation with the boiler sales agency before applying, and subsidies are only provided for boilers installed this year.
