Eco-friendly boilers refer to gas boilers (environment mark certified products) and electric boilers. However, in areas where city gas supply is difficult, type 2 boilers (oil, LPG) certified for household boilers are also supported. Applications can be made by visiting the town or township office of the address or the Environmental Department of the county office.

Selected recipients must replace or newly install an old boiler with an eco-friendly boiler within 30 days from the selection date and then claim the subsidy.

In addition, Gurye-gun has been accepting applications on a first-come, first-served basis since the 16th of last month for the 2023 household low-NOx boiler installation support project. Household low-NOx boilers can be applied for not only by vulnerable groups but also by general households.

An official from the county said, “We hope many residents will apply to reduce fine dust and save heating costs through participation in the eco-friendly boiler support project for vulnerable groups and the household low-NOx boiler installation support project.”
