Changes to Funding Availability

Energy efficiency grant schemes operate within defined funding periods and budgets. The following should be understood by all visitors:

Funding availability may change at any time without prior notice as budgets are allocated and spent
Scheme rules, eligibility criteria, and qualifying measures are set by government and regulatory bodies and may be amended during the course of a scheme
The availability of specific measures (such as heat pumps, solar panels, or insulation types) may vary by region, supplier, and remaining budget
Schemes may close to new applications before their scheduled end date if funding is fully committed
New schemes may be introduced or existing schemes extended, and this website may not reflect such changes immediately

No Guarantee of Eligibility

It is important to understand that no content, tool, or eligibility checker on this website constitutes a guarantee of eligibility for any energy efficiency grant scheme. Specifically:

Online Eligibility Checkers

Any eligibility checker or assessment tool on this website provides an indicative result only. It is based on general scheme criteria and the information you provide. It does not constitute a formal eligibility determination.

Formal Assessment Required

Eligibility for any scheme is confirmed only through a formal process conducted by authorised scheme providers, which typically includes a professional property survey and verification of qualifying criteria.

Individual Circumstances

Every household and property is different. Factors such as property construction type, existing insulation levels, heating system condition, and local authority requirements may affect eligibility in ways not captured by general guidance.

Measure Suitability

Even where a household is eligible for a scheme, the specific measures installed will depend on a professional survey of the property. Not all measures are suitable for all properties.

Verification Responsibility

Users of this website are encouraged to verify all information with official scheme providers before making decisions based on the guidance provided here. We recommend:
