Gwangjin-gu Supports Eco-Friendly Boiler Replacement Costs for Vulnerable Groups

Subsidy of 600,000 KRW per vehicle, from February 1 until budget exhaustion... Applications open for Basic Livelihood Security Recipients, Low-Income, Disabled, Single-Parent Families, etc.

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) is providing support for the replacement cost of eco-friendly boilers to reduce the heating cost burden for low-income and vulnerable groups.

Eco-friendly boilers are products certified with an environmental label, emitting less fine dust and having high energy efficiency. They reduce the emission of air pollutants such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides, protecting the environment while offering economic benefits such as heating cost savings.

The support budget for eco-friendly boiler replacement is 43.8 million KRW, covering 73 units. 600,000 KRW is provided per unit, and the application period is from February 1 until the budget is exhausted, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Eligible applicants include basic livelihood security recipients, lower-income groups, persons with disabilities, single-parent families, and other low-income and vulnerable groups. Starting this year, multi-child households with income below 70% of the median income and social welfare facilities are also eligible. However, households that have already received eco-friendly boiler subsidies, public institutions and facilities, and newly constructed apartment buildings subject to housing construction project approval are not eligible for support.

Applicants wishing to apply can submit the required documents, including the subsidy payment request form, eco-friendly boiler installation confirmation, receipt, and a copy of the bankbook, either in person or through the Eco Square website. For further inquiries, contact the Environment Division of Gwangjin-gu Office.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “We hope many residents will take interest and participate as we support boiler replacement costs to protect the environment and save energy,” adding, “We will continue to do our best to discover and support various eco-friendly policies to respond to climate change.”
