Frequently asked questions
What home energy grants are available in L72, South West England?
South West England households can apply for the UK Government's Warm Homes Plan for insulation, heat pumps, and smart heating controls. The region includes Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, and Bristol. Submit the form to check what your L72 property qualifies for.
Are South West rural and off-gas-grid homes eligible?

Eligibility requires a qualifying means-tested benefit (such as Universal Credit, Pension Credit, or Income Support) and an EPC rating of D, E, F or G. Owner-occupiers and private tenants with landlord permission can both apply.

Funded measures include loft insulation, cavity and wall insulation, air source heat pumps, smart heating controls, and solar panels. The specific combination depends on your L72 property type and energy rating.
How much could I receive?
Eligible households can receive up to £30,000 in funded improvements. The exact amount depends on the measures required and findings from a free survey.
Is the eligibility check free?
