Check your eligibility for free home energy saving measures

Many more residents can now benefit from a Government Home Upgrade Grant thanks to changes to the eligibility criteria.

If your household income is up to £36,000 and you don't use a gas boiler as your main heating system, you can apply for free energy- saving upgrades for your home. These include insulation, air source heat pumps, solar panels and more.

Up to £38,000 in funding is available per household, depending on the property type and what measures are suitable for the property.

What if I have gas in my home?

You can still apply for this scheme if you have a gas connection provided it's not used for heating, for example if you have a gas cooker, but your home uses electric storage heaters.

Your home will be eligible for this scheme if it is mainly heated by any of the following methods:

• Electricity (storage heaters, electric boiler, panel heaters)
• Oil
• Coal
• Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)
• Solid fuel

The scheme will be open to applications until 31 October 2024, with applications dealt with on a first come, first served basis.
