You can now apply for grant funding without taking out a loan. A rural uplift is also available to provide extra support to rural and island homes which can face increased costs to install home improvements. The rural uplift is available to households in Remote Rural and Island areas, as well as off-gas Accessible Rural areas, as defined by the Urban Rural Classification. Our advisors can tell you whether your property is eligible for this uplift and our application form will assess this based on your postcode.
Grant funding for energy efficiency improvements is up to 75% of the combined cost of the improvements, up to the maximum grant amount of £7,500, or £9,000 for households which qualify for the rural uplift.
Grant funding for heat pumps is up to £7,500, or £9,000 for households which qualify for the rural uplift. The remainder of funding requested can be taken up as an optional interest-free loan.
Are you a homeowner? Great news - if you live in the home you own, then you can apply. Visit our contact us webpage to find out how to get in touch.
Building your own home? You can use the grant and loan for home renewables systems or energy storage systems; other improvements aren't available if it's a self-build.
