WORCESTER, England, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- npower hometeam has launched a new winter cashback scheme, which will see customers installing a new boiler receive a one off cash payment towards their winter gas bill.

The npower winter gas cashback deal means that any homeowners installing a new A-rated boiler through the company will receive 349 pounds Sterling cashback, the equivalent value of the average winter gas bill from December to February*. What's more, by having a new A-rated boiler installed, homeowners could save an additional 225 pounds in energy costs.**

Richard Cotton, head of sales for npower hometeam, commented: "As the weather gets colder and homeowners turn their heating back on, many people with boilers over ten years old may find their systems are increasingly inefficient and are more likely to break down, which is the last thing you need during the winter months.

"By installing a new A-rated energy efficient boiler, they'll not only get added peace of mind, but could also save hundreds of pounds in heating bills. At npower, we realise that having a new boiler installed is a big investment, which is why we've launched our winter gas cash back deal."

npower's winter cashback offer is available to any homeowner installing a new A-rated boiler with npower hometeam until the end of the year.

For customers who want to protect their gas boiler, npower also has a pioneering new boiler care service called npower hometeam 50. It offers boiler care including an annual boiler service usually worth 74 pounds and repairs.

hometeam 50 is priced exactly the same as British Gas' Homecare Flexi 100 at 10.50 pounds a month with a fixed fee of 50 pounds per repair, and offers the same service - save for one important difference - npower's 50% No Call Out Cash Back.

If you're an npower gas and electricity customer and don't call out npower hometeam to work on your boiler during the 12 month agreement period, npower returns 50% of the cost of your annual membership to you after your year's anniversary, worth 63 pounds.

*Based on 20,500kWh gas consumption per annum and seasonal profiling
