What grants exist

Improving your home’s energy efficiency can sometimes require an upfront investment, but there may be funding or support available to help.

A number of government and local authority schemes aim to help households improve their energy efficiency. These programmes often support measures such as insulation, heating upgrades and renewable technologies that reduce energy use and carbon emissions.

Funding schemes can change over time and may be delivered by different organisations in different areas. Learning about the types of grants that exist can help you understand what support might be available.

See our funding and eligibility support page for more information about what you could get.

What might you be eligible for

Eligibility for energy efficiency grants is usually based on a combination of factors. These may include household income, whether someone in the household receives certain benefits, the energy performance of the property or the area you live in.

Some schemes are designed to support households on lower incomes or those living in homes that are expensive to heat. Others may focus on improving properties with lower energy performance ratings.

Because criteria vary between programmes and locations, checking the details for your area is important.

Almost all homes, regardless of household income, can get £7,500 off the cost of a heat pump through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
