Green Homes Grant

 

Help available to insulate your home to make it warmer for you, reduce your energy bills and be better for the environment

 

The Green Homes Grant scheme is a government funded initiative, supporting local projects to make energy-saving improvements in people’s homes. The scheme aims to reduce household fuel bills, and make homes warmer, more comfortable and more energy efficient.

 

The closing date for applications is 31 March 2022.

 

Eligible home improvements

 

The scheme offers a wide range of insulation measures, and renewable heating technologies, such as air source heat pumps, which are designed to reduce the impact of heating homes on the environment.

 

Potential home improvements could include:

 

• wall insulation
• loft insulation
• air source, ground source or hybrid heat pumps
• biomass boilers
• double or triple glazing to replace single glazing
• energy efficient doors
• thermostats and heating controls
• hot water tank insulation.

 

Eligible households

 

The scheme is open to homeowners and private tenants in rented accommodation, with a low annual income, and where the home has a low energy rating.

For people who live in a rented property, the landlord will need to provide permission to install energy-saving improvements.

Households also need to meet eligibility criteria to qualify for funding.
