Workers who have recently gained their approved plumbing qualifications after finishing a training course and are looking to boost their employment prospects have been encouraged to head onto the Boilerguide website.
According to the company, the online resource could be an ideal place to advertise plumbers' services and also let homeowners know how much they are charging.
This could help householders save money and offer more job opportunities to tradespersons.
David Holmes, founder of Boilerguide, said that the website works in a simple way.
"Once the request for work is submitted, homeowners will simply receive quotes from any available heating engineers in their vicinity. They only need to make a commitment once they decide which engineer they would like," he said.
Chancellor of the exchequer Alistair Darling - in his pre-Budget report - recently announced details of a new boiler scrappage scheme, which will provide Britons with money from the government to put towards a new boiler if their old one is old and energy-inefficient.
