Frequently asked questions

Can over 70s get free home energy improvements in your area?

Older households are a priority group under the Warm Homes Plan. If you are 70 or over, receive a qualifying benefit such as Pension Credit, and your your area home has an EPC rating of D, E, F or G, you are likely to be eligible for funded improvements. Submit the form to confirm what you qualify for.

Do I need to receive a benefit to qualify?

Warm Homes Plan eligibility is primarily determined by benefit receipt and property energy rating, not age alone. However, many over 70s receive qualifying benefits such as Pension Credit or Attendance Allowance, which are both listed as qualifying benefits. Submit the form even if you are unsure, and we will check your eligibility.

Why are older households prioritised?

Older people are at greater health risk from cold homes, and many live in older properties with poor insulation. The Warm Homes Plan specifically targets households most at risk of fuel poverty, which frequently includes over 70s on fixed incomes in less energy-efficient homes.

What improvements could my your area home receive?

Eligible measures include loft insulation, cavity and wall insulation, air source heat pumps, smart heating controls, and solar panels. The measures appropriate for your property are determined by a free survey.

How much funding could I receive?

Eligible households can receive up to £30,000 in funded improvements. The exact amount depends on the survey findings for your your area property and which measures are required.

Is the eligibility check free?

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