Free Insulation grants are available to private households where anyone is aged 70 and above or anyone is in receipt of certain benefits, tax credits or allowances. All other home owners and private tenants will still qualify for a partial grant and the table below shows some typical examples of the amount to pay after the grant has been applied.

Insulation grants will not last forever. The current scheme is due to end in 2011, although a one year extension has been announced. It is estimated that all funding for loft and cavity wall insulation will cease completely by 2015. Grants can also stop and start, particularly on the free schemes. In 2006, many installers could not obtain partial grant funding. Apply now while grants are still available and waiting times are low.

Where Does Insulation Grant Funding Come From?

The insulation grants arranged by EnergyLink are part of the Government's new Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT). The major utility companies (British Gas, NPower, E.ON, EDF, Scottish Power, Scottish & Southern Energy) have to meet targets to reduce carbon emissions by paying for insulation in domestic properties. It does not matter who your energy supplier is, you can still apply through EnergyLink. Home Insulation grants (including loft insulation grants and cavity insulation grants) are available to all homeowners and private tenants throughout the UK.

A Free No-Obligation Survey Will Be Arranged.
Following your application, one of our approved installers in your local area will contact you to confirm your eligibility for one of the Government-backed insulation grants and answer any questions you might have. Providing you are happy, they can then arrange your free, no-obligation insulation survey.

Our Installers Claim The Grant On Your Behalf.
If the survey shows that your home is suitable for cavity wall insulation or loft insulation and providing you are willing to go ahead, our installers will carry out the work and then claim the grant amount for you at a later date. If you qualify for free insulation, there is absolutely nothing to pay. If you qualify for a partial grant, you will have to pay a small contribution on the day which is typically between £99 and £199 for each installation.
N.B. Some installers may take a deposit at survey.

Advantages of Home Insulation

Cavity Wall Insulation and Loft Insulation are the two most effective energy efficiency measures available. There are five main reasons to install home insulation. You can save a huge amount of money on your heating bills, help protect the environment from global warming, increase the value and saleability of your home, feel more comfortable and help prevent condensation.

Save Money On Your Heating Bills
Cavity wall insulation and loft insulation are widely recognised as the most effective Energy Efficiency measures you can install. Your heating can be turned on less often and for shorter periods. Installing both measures could save you up to £310 per year! Insulating a loft without insulation can save up to £175 per year and filling cavity walls can save up to £135.

Help Protect The Environment
Burning fossil fuels allows Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) to escape into the atmosphere, therefore contributing to global warming. A home that is not adequately insulated allows heat to escape through the walls and roof, so more fossil fuel is burned to compensate for the escaping heat.

Increase The Value Of Your Home
Cavity wall insulation and loft insulation are considered to be a home improvement. Installing insulation is free or very low cost and instantly adds value to your home. By installing both cavity wall insulation and loft insulation you will also make it easier to sell your home, especially with the introduction of the new Home Information Packs (HIPs).

Be More Comfortable
Cavity wall insulation and loft insulation will make your home warmer during the winter months. It is also a little known fact that they keep your home cooler during summer.

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 cavity wall insulation and loft insulation you can help to prevent condensation as the interior surface of walls and ceilings will be warmer.

Home Insulation Restrictions

Loft Insulation grants have restrictions on the depth of insulation already in your loft. On the free schemes, if you are 70 or over, this restriction is typically 60mm (2.5 inches) so you may only qualify for a partial grant. If you receive a benefit, the restrictions vary depending on the scheme and your area. An existing depth of up to 100mm (4 inches) is typically allowed on the partial grant schemes. Extra charges may also apply to large properties. If scaffolding or other special access equipment are required, this will also be chargeable.
