HUNDREDS of thousands of households could enhance their home's energy efficiency and save money through a variety of grants. From insulation and boiler upgrades to modifications for disabled residents, financial assistance can cover a substantial portion of your home improvement costs.
Some grants may even cover up to £50,000 worth of home improvements. However, the exact amount of support available to you will depend on your individual circumstances. For instance, the level of support may vary if you receive benefits or live in a council house.
Fortunately, we have compiled a list of all available home improvement grants, so you don't have to do the legwork. Here is exactly what you can access. Low-income and vulnerable families can get help improving the energy-efficiency of their homes through the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme.
Under the ECO scheme, suppliers have a legal obligation to implement energy-saving measures in your home if you're experiencing fuel poverty. Help is offered on a case-by-case basis, but it can mean having a new boiler fitted, or loft or cavity wall insulation put in, often for free.
The cost of buying a new boiler and install is around £3,000, while loft insulation costs around £725 to install and cavity wall insulation in a mid-terrace house will set you back £1,800, according to Checkatrade. Measures can also include the installation of heat pumps, smart thermostats and even solar panels.
