  • You own your home or have written landlord consent
  • You receive a qualifying benefit (Universal Credit, Pension Credit, etc.)
  • Your property was built before 2000 and has an older heating system

You may still qualify if...

  • You live in a rural area not on the gas grid
  • Your local council has identified your area for LA Flex funding

LA Flex is a local authority referral route that can extend eligibility beyond standard income thresholds. Check below to see if Sheffield properties qualify.

Frequently asked questions

Does Carer's Allowance qualify me for home energy grants in Sheffield?

Carer's Allowance is a qualifying benefit under the Warm Homes Plan. If you receive it and your Sheffield home has an EPC rating of D, E, F or G, you may be eligible for funded energy improvements. Submit the form to check what your household qualifies for.

Why are carers prioritised for home energy support?

Carers often have lower household incomes and spend more time at home, meaning heating costs are a bigger proportion of their budget. The Warm Homes Plan targets households most affected by fuel poverty, and Carer's Allowance claimants frequently meet the income and household vulnerability criteria.

What measures are available under the Warm Homes Plan?

Funded measures include loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, internal and external wall insulation, air source heat pumps, smart heating controls, and solar panels. The combination recommended depends on your Sheffield property's current energy performance.

How much could I receive?

Eligible households can receive up to £30,000 in funded home improvements. The exact value depends on survey findings and which measures are appropriate for your Sheffield property. The eligibility check and survey are both free.

Can a private tenant who receives Carer's Allowance apply?

Yes, if your landlord gives written permission for the work to be carried out. If you own your home outright or have a mortgage, you can apply directly. Submit the form and we will confirm the options available in your situation.

Is the eligibility check free?

Yes. The form takes about 60 seconds and there is no cost or obligation. If you pre-qualify, an accredited installer in Sheffield will contact you to arrange a free survey.

What types of property in Sheffield are eligible?

Most residential property types in Sheffield can qualify, including detached houses, semi-detached houses, terraced houses, bungalows, and some flats. The property must be your main residence or a rental property where you have landlord permission. Eligibility also depends on your current EPC rating and heating system.

Is this an official government service?

UK Home Grants is an independent eligibility service operated by Stubo Interactive. We are not affiliated with DESNZ, Ofgem, or any government department. We connect homeowners with accredited installers who administer grants under the Home Energy Grants for Carer's Allowance Recipients. The grants themselves are government-funded.
