FREE – Home Energy Pop Up Advice Sessions
Our team of advisers are currently out and about offering one-to-one advice at our community pop-up advice sessions. We can talk to you about simple home improvements and upgrading (‘retrofitting’) your home to save energy, and answer your questions on things like draughtproofing, insulation, boiler replacements, heat pumps and solar panels. We’ll explain the support that we offer, the grants that are available, and if necessary we can book you in for more in-depth advice. Visit our events page to see where we’ll be:
Government grants for home energy improvements
We can explain, and support you to apply for, a variety of government grants that are available to make your home warmer, more comfortable and cheaper to heat. The main funds are:
- Energy Company Obligation (ECO4)
- Home Upgrade Grant (HUG2)
- Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS)
- Boiler Upgrade Grant (BUS)
- Affordable Warmth Scheme
These grants can pay for things like additional insulation, double glazing, boiler upgrades, smart heating controls and installing heat pumps and solar panels. Different eligibility criteria apply to different grants.
This project is funded through the Local Energy Advice Demonstrator project from the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero and the Energy Industry Voluntary Redress Scheme.
