Which Free Energy Improvement Measures Can I Receive?
Home Insulation
Free home insulation grants are available for the installation of various types of insulation including cavity wall insulation, internal wall insulation, loft insulation, and room-in-roof insulation. Reducing the amount of heat lost from your home will lower your emissions and fuel bills. If you qualify for an insulation grant (or already have insulation) then there is a good chance you may be eligible for other grants, including solar funding.
Solar Panels
Solar panels are a low-carbon green option that can bring considerable savings. Solar panels require light, not direct sunlight, so will still generate electricity on gloomy days. The electricity created can be used, stored in a battery, or exported to the grid to receive money from the energy companies as part of the Smart Export Guarantee.
Heating
Funding could help you get a reliable heating system for your home. You might be able to benefit from a boiler and central heating system installation for the first time, or your property might be suitable for an innovative heat pump to provide you with a more efficient means of heating your home and hot water. Whichever option is most suitable will bring you noticeable bill savings.
