Grant Funding Eligibility Tool
Interested to see if you may be eligible for any grants that can help with the cost of retrofitting your home? If it looks like you're eligible our team will be able to advise you how to apply.
At present, there is a government funding programme (HUG2) for homes not heated by mains gas.
If you own your home and meet eligibility criteria, you will not have to pay anything towards the costs for the measures identified as providing the best improvement.
If you’re in privately rented accommodation and meet eligibility criteria, you will need to ask your landlord to apply. But we can give you some top tips on how to approach this subject.
We’ve created our eligibility tool to help you discover what improvements in your home could be funded, however grants come and go and eligibility criteria are also subject to changes, so our commitment to you is to provide the best advice and support at any given time.
The current funding we can provide is open to households who meet the following criteria:
- do not use mains gas for heating;
- either live in an eligible postcode area (we can check this for you) OR have a total gross annual household income of £36,000 or less;
- Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is rated D, E, F or G (we can help you to find the rating for your property).
What is retrofit?
Retrofit is the process of making alterations to an existing building to improve its energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Retrofit is sometimes also referred to as home upgrade.
These improvements make your home easier to heat, able to retain heat for longer, and provide options for replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.
Retrofit measures include: 
- Improving insulation in walls, roofs, and floors.
- Enhancing ventilation to manage indoor air quality.
- Upgrading heating systems to more efficient ones.
- Installing double or triple-glazed windows to reduce heat loss.
- Sealing gaps to prevent drafts and improve comfort.
With high energy bills continuing to have an impact on most households, retrofitting could help you make energy cost savings.
By working together to create warmer homes and lower heating costs, we’re all contributing towards the fight against climate change.
