Let's have a 'Boiler Scrappage Scheme'

According to the 'energy saving trust' http://tinyurl.com/opvkg4 "If everyone in the UK with gas central heating installed a high efficiency condensing boiler, we would save enough energy to heat 3.4 million homes for a whole year and save around 13 million tonnes of Carbon Dioxide". The householder could also save around a third on their heating bills.

Now, bearing in mind that the construction industry has been one of the worst hit in this recession, wouldn't it be a good idea for the government to create a 'Boiler Scrappage Scheme'?

This would be an extremely 'Green' proposal and would benefit boiler manufacturers, plumbers merchants, installers and the householder - you might even get the manufacturers to partly fund it, just as the car manufacturers have done for the Car Scrappage Scheme.
