WHAT UPGRADES DO THE GRANTS COVER?

The Home Energy Grant cover the following upgrades:

  • Home heating upgrades
  • Solar thermal
  • Attic insulation
  • Cavity, internal and external wall insulation

DID YOU KNOW REPLACING YOUR OLD BOILER CAN REDUCE ENERGY USAGE BY 20%?

Old boilers can end up being costly to run and wasteful of energy due to the significant amount of heat that is lost up the chinmey/flue.

By adding modern heating controls this will help you match your hot water schedules and space heating to the living patterns in your home for example, when you need hot water it is there, and when you don't need hot water it is turned off.

This in turn is reducing your energy usage and you could make annual savings of up to 20% on your annual heating bills.
