Frequently asked questions

Is my EPC E rated home eligible for grants in Glasgow?

Yes. Homes with an EPC rating of E are explicitly targeted by the Warm Homes Plan. If your Glasgow property is rated E and your household receives a qualifying benefit, you are likely to be eligible for funded improvements. Submit the form to confirm what you qualify for.

What does an EPC rating of E mean?

An EPC rating of E means your home falls in the 39 to 54 range on the energy efficiency scale. It indicates poor insulation and above-average energy use, typically resulting in higher heating bills. The Warm Homes Plan uses EPC ratings to prioritise homes where funded improvements will make the greatest difference.

What improvements could an EPC E home in Glasgow receive?

Common measures for EPC E homes include loft insulation, cavity or solid wall insulation, and heating system upgrades. In some cases solar panels and smart heating controls are also funded. The specific combination is determined by a free survey of your property.

Will improvements raise my EPC rating?

Yes. Insulation and heating upgrades funded under the Warm Homes Plan are specifically designed to improve a property's energy performance. Many EPC E homes move to a C or D rating after a full package of measures, resulting in lower energy bills and a warmer home.

Do I need to know my EPC rating before applying?

No. If you are unsure of your Glasgow property's EPC rating, you can check it free on the government's EPC register. Alternatively, submit the eligibility form and the installer will confirm your rating as part of the free survey process.

Is the eligibility check free?

Yes. The form is free and takes about 60 seconds. If you pre-qualify, an accredited installer in Glasgow will contact you to arrange a free home survey.

What types of property in Glasgow are eligible?

Most residential property types in Glasgow 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 EPC Rating E Homes. The grants themselves are government-funded.
