Frequently Asked Questions
Here you’ll find answers to common questions about our services. If you have any additional inquiries, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team.
01 Who is eligible for a grant?
Anyone can apply — it’s free and there’s no obligation. You don’t need to be on benefits. Whether you qualify depends on your home, your heating (for example a gas boiler over 7 years old) and where you live.
For any further information on your eligibility, get in touch with us today.
02 How much will a new boiler save me?
If we consider an old boiler may only be operating at 65% of its efficiency you could literally be wasting 35p of every pound you spend on energy.
The good news is that new boilers with an ‘A’ rating can operate at around 90% + efficiency which translates into less than 10p wastage. So, you could save as much as £300 per year by replacing your old and inefficient boiler with a brand new one with an ‘A’ rating. Imagine what you could do with that money!
One of the easiest methods to save money on your energy bills is by obtaining a Free Boiler Grant and installing loft insulation. These simple measures can have a substantial impact on reducing your energy expenses.
03 Who pays for the measures?
Funding for your Home Energy Improvements is paid for by the Leading Energy Companies such as British Gas, SSE, Scottish Power, N-Power and so on. They have a quota to fill for improving the energy performance of UK Homes and can face large fines if they miss their targets. The aim is to reduce how much fuel UK households use on average. To improve this they aim to make generating heat cheaper (with new boilers), and maintaining heat easier (with insulation).
04 What is the Great British Insulation Scheme?
The Great British Insulation Scheme is a government initiative aimed at improving energy efficiency in homes across the UK by providing funding for insulation upgrades.
05 What free upgrades can I receive with the Great British Insulation Scheme?
Through the scheme, eligible homeowners or tenants can receive free or subsidised upgrades such as upgraded heating controls, loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, and sometimes solid wall insulation.
06 I’m not on a benefit, can I still apply?
Yes you can, this is based on your postcode and council area. Contact us or complete the application form to find out if your area is covered.
07 I’m a landlord / tenant, can I still apply?
Yes, private rented properties can still apply via landlord or tenant (no council or housing association).
08 Will I have to pay?
No, we only offer the free energy grants and we have no facilities to even take money. The grants are paid for by the energy companies and government.
