Financial help to make your home warmer

We want you to be comfortable and warm in your home. That’s why we have a responsible pricing policy and special offers on loft and wall insulation.

But if you receive benefits such as Housing or Council Tax Benefit, you could qualify for a grant to help insulate your home. Your local council might be able to help with grants to repair or improve your home.

 Grants for your home

If you live in England or Wales, there are two main grants available to you:

• If you receive benefit, are pregnant and have a MAT B1 certificate or have children under 16, you may qualify for a Home Energy Efficiency Scheme (HEES) grant.
• If you receive benefit and are either over 60, a lone parent family with children under 16, or if you are disabled or chronically ill you may qualify for a Home Energy Efficiency Scheme Plus (HEES Plus) grant.

If you live in Scotland, the Warm Deal grant might be available to you:

• If you receive benefit, you may qualify for a grant for a package of insulation improvements.
• If you don’t receive benefit but are over 60 you may also qualify for a grant for household insulation or improvement.

Information on both these schemes and how to apply is available through the Energy Action Grants Agency (EAGA) (0800 952 0600, free call), the Energy Savings Trust (EST) (0845 727 7200, local rate or free call depending on provider), or by contacting your council or local authority.

If you’re struggling to pay your bills, we might be able to help. Contact us and one of our expert advisers will be happy to advise you.
