The Green Homes Grant is a new scheme which gives homeowners in England vouchers to help cover the cost of energy efficient improvements to your home – such as low carbon heating systems, insulation or double glazing to replace single glazing.
For most, the vouchers will be worth about two-thirds of the cost of the energy efficient improvements, up to a maximum of £5,000 per household. However, if you’re on a low income or get certain benefits, you can get vouchers of up to £10,000 to cover the entire costs of installing the measures.
The Government has said you need to have completed the work by 31 March 2021, so there’s only a six-month window . If you are interested you need to factor in the time it takes to get quotes, apply to the scheme and get the work done.
The MoneySavingExpert website has set up a guide giving full details and how to apply here.
Sheffield City Council meanwhile has set up its own energy efficiency page, giving tips on how to cut energy cost.
