According to the county on the 27th, applications for this project can be submitted through dealerships until the 28th of next month, and a total of 50 units (40 for general households, 10 for low-income households) will be supported.

The support targets are households in Gochang-gun that install or replace household low-NOx boilers.

The support amount is 100,000 KRW for general households and 600,000 KRW for low-income households. Priority support is given to households that replace old boilers with low-NOx boilers certified by the Environmental Label or newly install low-NOx boilers.

The eco-friendly low-NOx boilers eligible for installation support use city gas (LNG) as fuel and are products certified by the Environmental Label of the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute. Certification status can be checked on the website.

Kang Pilgu, head of the county's Environmental Hygiene Division, said, “Installing low-NOx boilers not only reduces air pollutants (fine dust) but also improves energy efficiency, leading to fuel savings. We hope residents will replace their boilers with eco-friendly low-NOx boilers and participate in creating a pleasant air quality.”

For more details, check the announcement on the county website or contact the Air Environment Team of the Environmental Hygiene Division.
