The government is investing in Help to Heat schemes to make sure homes are warmer and cheaper to heat. This includes the:

• Boiler Upgrade Scheme
• Warm Homes: Local Grant
• Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund
• Energy Company Obligation
• Great British Insulation Scheme

This funding is not delivered directly by the government, but through installers, local authorities, energy companies and other bodies.

There are quality issues with some solid wall insulation fitted through government schemes. Check what to do if you’re concerned about solid wall insulation you’ve had fitted through a government scheme.

Support through installers

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides grants to property owners to install low carbon heating systems such as heat pumps.

Support through your energy company

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a requirement for energy suppliers to help households reduce the costs of their home heating by fitting energy-saving measures.

Different energy suppliers have different amounts of support and offer different types of improvements - so you will need to check with your energy company if you’re eligible.
