If you’re considering insulating your home but think the work could be too costly, it’s time to think again. As part of a commitment to protect the environment through greater energy efficiency, the Government and many local authorities, housing associations, and utility companies offer grants and discounts to help individuals meet the cost of insulating their homes. We can help you find out if you qualify and what is available in your area.

Finding out if you qualify:
If you receive any of the following benefits or you are over 70, you could be entitled to a 100% grant, meaning you could have your home insulated absolutely free:
  • Income Support
  • Housing Benefit
  • Council Tax Benefit
  • Disabled Persons Tax Credit
  • War Disablement Pension (providing you’re also in receipt of Mobility
    Supplement or Constant Attendance Allowance)
  • Attendance Allowance
  • Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (providing you’re also in receipt of Constant Attendance Allowance)
  • Child Tax Credit (Providing your annual income is less than £14,600)
  • Working Tax Credit (Providing your annual income is less than £14,600)
  • Disability Living Allowance
  • Pension Credit

Even if you aren’t currently claiming any of these benefits, you could still qualify for a discount off the cost of insulating your home of between 50% and 70%, regardless of your income.
