Grants Are Running Out
Cavity Wall and Loft Insulation Grants will not last forever. All Grants will begin to be replaced by Green Deal loans from Autumn 2012, which will recover the typical up-front cost through charges on a household's energy bills.
Current Free Insulation Grants, on the other hand, are completely non-repayable. All Free Insulation Grants are set to end on 31st December 2012 and it is likely that applications will need to be submitted several weeks before this date at the latest.
Apply Online now while waiting times are low and Free Insulation Grants are still available.
Where does Free Insulation Grant funding come from?
The Free Insulation Grants arranged by EnergyLink are part of the Government’s Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT).
As part of CERT, the major utility companies – Npower, E.ON, British Gas, EDF, Scottish Power, and Scottish & Southern Energy – are obliged to meet targets to reduce carbon emissions by paying for Insulation in domestic properties. Regardless of who your energy supplier is, you can still Apply Online for a Free Insulation Grant through EnergyLink.
Home Insulation Grants, including for Loft and Cavity Wall Insulation, are available to all UK homeowners and private tenants.

What are the advantages of Home Insulation?
Cavity Wall and Loft Insulation remain the two most effective energy efficiency measures available for your home. The diagram below shows the savings and benefits on offer:
There are five main reasons to install Home Insulation:
Save Money On Your Heating Bills
Loft Insulation and Cavity Wall Insulation are widely recognised as the most effective energy efficiency measures you can install. Your home will better retain heat, meaning that your heating can be turned on less often and for shorter periods, resulting in large energy bill savings. Installing Home Insulation could save you up to £310 per year.
Be More Comfortable
Loft Insulation and Cavity Wall Insulation will make your home warmer during the Winter months. It is also a little known fact that Home Insulation will help to keep your home cooler during the warmer Summer months.
Help Protect The Environment
A home that is not adequately insulated will lose heat through its loft and walls, and will burn more fossil fuels to compensate. Burning fossil fuels allows Carbon Dioxide (CO2) to escape into the atmosphere and contributes to global warming. A home with Loft Insulation and Cavity Wall Insulation will better retain heat, burn less fossil fuels and subsequently will help to protect the environment.
Help Prevent Condensation
Condensation occurs when water vapour in the air comes into contact with surfaces that are cooler than the vapour itself. By installing Loft Insulation and Cavity Wall Insulation, you can help to prevent condensation as the interior surface of walls and ceilings will be warmer.
Increase The Value Of Your Home
Loft Insulation and Cavity Wall Insulation are considered to be home improvements. Installing Insulation is free or very low cost and instantly adds value to your home. By installing Home Insulation, you will also make your home more attractive to potential buyers.
Are there any Home Insulation restrictions?
Yes. Loft Insulation Grants have restrictions on the depth of Insulation already in your loft. On the free schemes this restriction is typically 2.5 inches (60mm), so you may only qualify for a 40-70% Grant if you have more. An existing depth of up to 4 inches (100mm) is typically allowed on the partial Grant schemes.
Large properties may incur extra charges. There will also be charges if scaffolding or other special access equipment are required.
