Frequently asked questions

Are pensioners in BT14 eligible for the Warm Homes Plan?

Yes. Pensioners in BT14 who receive Pension Credit are among the highest-priority groups for Warm Homes Plan funding. Over-60s who do not yet receive Pension Credit may still qualify if their property has a poor EPC rating and they meet other household income criteria. The free eligibility check takes 60 seconds.

What is Pension Credit and does it make me eligible?

Pension Credit is a means-tested benefit for people over State Pension age whose income falls below a certain threshold. Receiving Pension Credit is one of the strongest qualifying criteria for the Warm Homes Plan, often allowing eligible households to receive fully funded insulation and heating improvements.

I am over 60 but do not receive Pension Credit. Can I still apply?

Possibly. Some over-60s who do not currently receive Pension Credit may still qualify through the LA Flex route, where a local authority can refer properties in certain areas or circumstances. Additionally, if your home has an EPC rating of E, F or G, you may qualify on property condition grounds regardless of age.

What improvements can I get as a pensioner?

Eligible measures include loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, solid wall insulation, underfloor insulation, air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, solar panels, and smart heating controls. The exact measures depend on your BT14 property's current energy performance and your household circumstances.

Is the process difficult for older applicants?

The online eligibility check takes about 60 seconds. After that, an accredited installer will contact you by phone to explain everything in plain terms and arrange a free home visit. You do not need to use a computer after the initial application. Family members can also apply on your behalf with your permission.

Is the eligibility check free?

Yes. The form is free to complete and there is no obligation at any stage. If you pre-qualify, a local BT14 installer will contact you to arrange a free home assessment and explain exactly what improvements your property is eligible for.
