Which grant scheme is right for you?
ECO4
This is the most all-encompassing grant scheme out there at the moment, covering everything from insulation to solar energy installations. Head over to the respective pages of each service to learn if you’re eligible, how much you can apply for, and when funding runs out.
PV panels, battery storage, and energy inverters. To get a better idea of what kind of solar energy installation you might need for your property (and whether you meet the criteria for funding), just enter a few details into our easy-to-use calculator. It couldn’t be simpler!
Replace your old gas central heating with an A-rated energy system that will make your building cosy and warm and save you money on your heating bills.
Upgrade your outdated electric storage heaters with modern equivalents that are more aesthetically pleasing, energy-efficient and have enhanced control features.
The ECO4 grant has funding available for many different types of boilers, including electric and hydrogen. See if you’re eligible for a grant today!
Insulation
The fastest way for a building to lose heat is if it’s insufficiently insulated. Use the ECO4 grant scheme to apply for funding towards roof insulation, wall insulation, and underfloor insulation and make it up to 40% more energy efficient.
Solar Together
The Solar Together scheme is quite a bit different from the other schemes that we help people all over the country access. This involves a reverse bidding process where the lowest bidder wins, and it’s then up to you whether you want to go ahead or not. You can save up to 20% on the cost of solar panels and battery storage by participating in the scheme, so head over to our dedicated Solar Together page for full details.
LA Flex
The LA Flex scheme runs in tandem with the ECO4 scheme but is granted by your local council on a case-by-case basis. While there are strict eligibility criteria, you can make your home far more energy-efficient with its grants for insulation, boilers, and solar energy systems.
OZEV and the WCS
Electric vehicles are the future, especially since the Government is putting a ban on the sale of new combustion engine vehicles by 2030. The WCS and OZEV schemes allow you to apply for funding that will cover 75% of the purchase and installation costs (capped at £350 each). If you’re a business, you can claim up to 40 EV charging points. The scheme is open to domestic and commercial applicants, so find out how much you could claim by getting in touch with our expert team or applying online now.
The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS)
The GBIS provides help to the most vulnerable people who don’t qualify for funding from the ECO4 scheme to upgrade their homes. On average, applicants save between £300 and £400 a year on their energy bills with the help of the GBIS, so see if you’re eligible today.
