Frequently asked questions
Does Working Tax Credit qualify me for home energy grants in BS18?
Yes. Working Tax Credit is a qualifying means-tested benefit under the Warm Homes Plan. If your BS18 household receives it and your home has an EPC rating of D, E, F or G, you may be eligible for funded energy improvements. Submit the form to confirm your eligibility.
Can I still claim if I am in work?
Yes. The Warm Homes Plan is available to working households that receive a qualifying means-tested benefit such as Working Tax Credit. Being employed does not disqualify you. Eligibility is based on benefit receipt and property energy rating, not employment status.
What energy improvements are available?
Funded measures include loft insulation, cavity and wall insulation, air source heat pumps, smart heating controls, and solar panels. The measures offered are determined by a free survey of your BS18 property.
How much grant could I receive?
Eligible households can receive up to £30,000 in funded improvements. The grant amount depends on which measures are appropriate for your home. The survey and eligibility check are both free with no obligation.
Is Working Tax Credit still a valid qualifying benefit?
Working Tax Credit is being phased out as households move to Universal Credit, but it remains a qualifying benefit under the Warm Homes Plan for those who still receive it. Universal Credit is also a qualifying benefit if you have already migrated.
Is the eligibility check free?
Yes. The form takes about 60 seconds and is completely free. If you pre-qualify, an accredited installer in BS18 will contact you to book a free home survey.
