Launched on at the end of September by the Government, the Green Homes Grant scheme sees homeowners in England, including landlords, get up to £5,000 to pay part of the cost of energy saving measures like insulation. Low income households (including those on certain benefits) can get 100% of the costs of work covered up to £10,000.

Up to 600,000 households could save up to £600 a year on energy bills by applying today. Installing energy efficient home improvements also cuts emissions, which is better for the environment.

Grants through the scheme can be used for energy-efficiency upgrades such as:

• Cavity wall insulation
• Loft insulation
• Solid wall insulation
• Under-floor insulation
• Biomass boiler
• Ground source heat pump
• Hybrid heat pump
• Solar thermal
