Warm Front Scheme
Are you vulnerable to the cold, disabled, elderly, or do
you have children in the home? If so the Warm
Front Scheme may be able to help towards the cost of energy
saving measures in the home.
If you own your own home or rent it from a private landlord,
you may be eligible for a grant of up to £3,500 (or £6,000 if oil
central heating is involved) under the Warm Front Scheme.
The Warm Front scheme is now targeted at people on certain
income-related benefits and living in properties that are poorly
insulated and/or do not have a working central heating
system.
Packages include:
- Loft Insulation
- Cavity Wall Insulation
- Hot Water Tank Jacket
- Draught proofing
- Heating and Hot Water Improvements
Utility Companies
Those who do not qualify for grant funding under Warm Front may
be able to apply for a discount from their fuel supplier. Most
utility companies now offer grants for cavity wall and loft
insulation, but the amount of grant differs between companies. For
more information contact your supplier.
Low Carbon Buildings Programme
The Low carbon buildings programme provides
grants for microgeneration technologies for householders, community
organisations, schools, the public sector and businesses. For
more information for householders visit the Low carbon buildings
programme website.
