For 1 euro in symbolic poses included, the energy group offers a gas boiler low consumption, which consume around 30% less than gas boilers current. This offer is intended for household resources "very modest", according to the criteria of the national Agency of habitat (Anah). A schedule that takes into account the region and the number of people per household. In the paris region, for example, a household of 4 people with annual resources of € 40,000 would be concerned. In total, 4 million French are potentially targeted by this offer.

The household resources "modest", always according to the criteria of Anah, will benefit from a supply of boiler to 299 euros, instead of fork out several thousands of euros. "In both cases, the amount corresponds to the rest to pay of the household, after deduction of the assistance to Live a better agility of the Anah and the premium boost heating of the State," said Isabelle Kocher in the columns of the Parisien-today in France .

The expansion of various subsidies of the State, which now includes the change of the boiler, will help Engie to put this offer. "If we put end-to-end-all, the amount of the monthly payment drops to zero, the client must pay symbolically 1 euro." For individuals, this new boiler would allow energy savings of the order of 200 to 300 euros per year for a household of four people on the entire life of the boiler, "that is 25 to 30 euros per month," said Isabelle Kocher.

To avoid the more modest having to do a check, the gas supplier plans to make an advance payment of the cost of buying a new boiler and to be reimbursed by the household through the energy savings. It also proposes to take care of all the paperwork and the cash advance. "Aid you understand nothing. We take care of everything! We will check with the services of the State to know what the client is entitled to. We verify the conditions of eligibility of resources, and make advance of funds," she said on France Info. And "no need to be a client Engie for us to care for your boiler," adds the boss of the group at the Paris.
