Are you considering ways to reduce bills and boost your energy efficiency? If you know where to look, you’ll find a generous amount of financial assistance. The best home energy grants can make your property more comfortable and save you money, providing a reassuring boost to your finances.
The Best Home Energy Grants
The best grants can significantly reduce your energy bills. However, a lot depends on whether you qualify.
For example, if you’re installing air source heat pumps Worcester using a reputable installer such as gsmlimited.com/services/air-source-heat-pumps/worcester, you must own your own property, be replacing a fossil fuel heating system and have installed insulation in order to be eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
Free Insulation
You may be eligible for free loft and cavity wall insulation under the Energy Company Obligation scheme, known as ECO4. Thousands of pounds are available, but you’ll need to be receiving qualifying benefits to apply.
If you’re on a low income and your home has an energy rating lower than D, you could qualify for a Home Upgrade Grant to replace windows, upgrade insulation and install energy-efficient measures including double glazing, solar panels and heat pumps.
Warmer Homes
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all offer schemes for energy-efficient home improvements.
Warmer Homes Scotland is open to homeowners and renters who receive qualifying benefits or over 75s with no central heating.
Wales’ Nest Scheme is open to homeowners with an EPC of D or lower. You’ll need to be receiving certain benefits or have a low income and a chronic respiratory, circulatory or mental health condition to apply.
Northern Ireland households with an annual income below £23,000 can get a grant for home improvements with an Affordable Warmth grant.
Other Grants and Financial Help
A hardship grant from your energy company could help you to tackle ever-increasing bills or prevent you from going into energy debt. National Energy Action is a charity that deals with fuel poverty and offers help and advice on dealing with your bills. It’s also worth checking out local authority schemes to help you become more energy-efficient.
