Frequently asked questions

Does Child Tax Credit qualify me for home energy grants in BT5?

Yes. Child Tax Credit is a qualifying means-tested benefit under the Warm Homes Plan. If your BT5 household receives it and your home has an EPC rating of D, E, F or G, you may be eligible for funded energy improvements. Submit the form to find out what you qualify for.

What energy improvements can I get funded?

The Warm Homes Plan covers loft insulation, cavity and wall insulation, air source heat pumps, smart heating controls, and solar panels. The measures offered are based on a free survey of your BT5 home and what will deliver the biggest energy saving.

How much grant funding is available?

Eligible households can receive up to £30,000 in funded improvements. The exact amount depends on the measures required for your property. Families in fuel poverty are a priority group for the scheme.

Is Child Tax Credit still a valid qualifying benefit?

Child Tax Credit is being gradually replaced by Universal Credit, but households that still receive it remain eligible under the Warm Homes Plan. If you have already moved to Universal Credit, that benefit also qualifies.

Can I apply as a tenant?

Private tenants can apply if their landlord provides written permission for the improvements. Owner-occupiers apply directly. Submit the form and we will confirm which route applies to your situation in BT5.

Is the eligibility check free?

Yes. The online form is free and takes about 60 seconds. If you pre-qualify, a local accredited installer will contact you to arrange a free survey with no obligation.
