There are many ways to pay less for home energy including taking advantage of various government energy saving grants.
Making use of the availability of government home energy efficiency grants, including but not limited to green energy grants and energy conservation subsidies offered by the actual provider you get your current energy supplies from can also help to subsidise your own bank account.
An extra benefit to this advice is that you will be helping to reduce global warming without it having an overall impact on your personal bank balance which is always a benefit in these thrifty times.
The UK Government funds various schemes that provide grants to households on certain social benefits to improve their heating and energy efficiency if they own their own home or rent it from a private landlord which in the long run will ensure they pay less to heat their homes.
Warm Front grants are available in England for loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and central heating improvements. You may be eligible for a grant of up to £3,500 (or £6,000 where oil, low carbon or renewable technologies are recommended) under the scheme.
In Scotland, grants are available to cover 30% of the cost of installing a renewable energy system at home, up to a maximum of £4,000.
In Northern Ireland the Warm Homes Scheme provides a grant to make your home warmer, healthier and more energy efficient with grants available for cavity wall insulation, loft Insulation and a hot water tank jacket right through to either installation of a fully controlled energy-efficient oil or gas central heating system where no system currently exists or conversion of an existing bottled gas (LPG), solid fuel or Economy 7 heating system to oil or natural gas for those on qualifying benefits.
In Wales The HEES grant provides a package of heating and insulation improvements up to the value of £3,600 (or £5,000 where oil central heating is required) in an initiative aimed at making homes in Wales warmer, healthier and more energy efficient.
Super website! I will most definitely recommend you to my pals. Please carry on the super updates. You on Twitter as well??
I really liked reading your post!. Quallity content.
Excellent info, although Warmfront have basically gone bust now and cant get hold of funding.
You can still get funding for home insulation as you say. Sites like us will help anybody who is elligible get their grant and get the insulation installed. The big changes are going to be for renewable energy and feed in tariffs which start in April. These will let you produce your own electricity and get paid for the surplus from the national grid. there are grants for solar thermal now and these are for producing your own hot water.
You’ve got the point through a lot better than I ever could, thanks!
