Action on Energy grants for low-income households
Through our Action on Energy partnership with other councils, we apply for and administer government grants to help low-income households install energy-efficiency improvements and low-carbon heating. Grants are available for homeowners and private landlords.
To find out about Home Upgrade Grants, please take a look at the Action On Energy Website.
Need a new boiler?
Through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, you could get a grant to cover part of the cost of replacing fossil fuel heating systems with a heat pump or biomass boiler. Fossil fuel heating systems include oil, gas or electric.
After checking your eligibility, find out how to apply for the grant.
