Frequently asked questions

Can homeowners over 60 in your area get free home improvements?

Homeowners aged 60 and over in your area may qualify for Warm Homes Plan grants, particularly if they receive a qualifying benefit such as Pension Credit, Universal Credit, or Income Support, or if their property has a very poor EPC rating. Age alone is not a qualifying criterion, but many older homeowners meet the benefit or property conditions. Submit the form to check your specific circumstances.

Do I need to be on benefits to qualify at 60+?

You do not have to be on benefits if your property has a very poor EPC rating and your local authority has identified your area for LA Flex funding. However, most grants require either a qualifying benefit or a low EPC rating. Pension Credit recipients aged 60 and over have a strong chance of qualifying.

What improvements are available to older homeowners in your area?

Eligible older homeowners in your area can receive loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, solid wall insulation, underfloor insulation, air source or ground source heat pumps, and smart heating controls. The exact measures depend on your property's current energy rating and heating system.

Can I apply if I own my home outright?

Yes. Owner-occupiers who own their home outright can apply for Warm Homes Plan grants. Mortgage status does not affect eligibility. The key factors are your property's EPC rating, your household benefit status, and the suitability of your home for the proposed improvements.

Will the improvements disrupt my home?

Most insulation measures involve minimal disruption. Loft insulation is typically completed in a few hours. Cavity wall insulation is drilled from outside and usually takes half a day. Heat pump installations take one to three days. Installers are required to leave the property clean and tidy.

Is the eligibility check free?

Yes. The online eligibility check is free and takes about 60 seconds. An approved installer will contact you to arrange a free survey and explain in detail what your your area home qualifies for.
