UK energy grants

There is money
for this.

Several schemes run at once, each with its own rules and its own timetable. Most households never find out which apply to them.

Free. No photos or site visit needed on this path.

plus the schemes your own council runs, all checked against your household

The schemes we check

Run by different bodies, on different timetables, with different rules. There is no single register that tells you what you qualify for.

Warm Homes: Local Grant
up to£15,000

The flagship grant from 2026, delivered through your local council. Aimed at EPC D–G homes on lower incomes.

  • Property rated EPC D or below
  • Household income under £36,000
  • Owner-occupied, delivered via your council
Energy Company Obligation 4
up to£15,000

Funded by the major energy suppliers rather than government. Runs to December 2026.

  • Property rated EPC D or below
  • Household income under £31,000, or on qualifying benefits
  • Covers insulation, heating and first-time central heating
Boiler Upgrade Scheme
£7,500

A flat grant towards replacing fossil fuel heating with a heat pump or biomass boiler.

  • No income test at all
  • Requires a valid EPC with no outstanding insulation recommendations
  • Applied for by your installer, not by you

What we ask for

Three things, about two minutes. No photos, no site visit on this path.

Step 01

Your postcode

We pull your property's record from the public EPC register, which tells us the rating, the construction and the heating type already on file.

Step 02

A few property details

Anything the register does not know or has wrong: extensions, a new boiler, glazing you have replaced since the last assessment.

Step 03

Three household questions

Income band, benefits, and whether you own or rent. Most schemes are means-tested, so without these we would be listing grants you cannot get.

What is available where you live

Most of this money is handed to councils to spend, so the answer changes across a boundary. We keep a page for all 361 UK local authorities.

The complete assessment reads photos of your property to find what to fix, then matches those fixes to the funding available.
