Boilers qualify for UK capital allowance scheme
Horizontal wet back fire tube boilers range is now available with optional ECA approved burners and has been incorporated on the Energy Technology List for the UK government backed ECA scheme.
Fulton Boiler Works (Great Britain) has announced that its recently launched nine-model RBC range of horizontal wet back fire tube boilers is now available with optional ECA approved burners and has been incorporated on the Energy Technology List for the government backed ECA (Enhanced Capital Allowance) scheme. The Inland Revenue, DEFRA and Department of Environment are working in collaboration with the Carbon Trust to operate the scheme enabling businesses to claim 100% of its first year capital allowances on investments, on qualifying energy saving technologies and products. The ECA scheme allows a business to write off the whole of the capital cost of their investment in these technologies against their taxable profits for the period in which the investment is made, which can deliver a helpful cash flow boost and a shortened payback period.
For new or replacement steam boiler installations, the scheme covers both capital plant and installation costs, and interest free ‘Action Energy Loans’ are also available to SMEs for boiler plant improvements and replacements.
To qualify for the Carbon Trust assessed and approved Energy Technology List, the approved RBC ECA boilers - offering capacities from 957 to 4787 kg/h - are fitted with NU-Way ECA specification burners which, as a packaged combination, reach the high levels of performance and efficiency required to meet the criteria.
‘We are delighted that the RBC ECA range has been included in the Energy Technology List.’ says Fulton’s sales and marketing director Gordon Bareham, who goes on to explain that high efficiency steam boiler plant not only qualifies for the ECA scheme, but also gives lower running costs at a time when rising energy costs are a concern to all.
