Household across West Northamptonshire with an annual income of £31,000 or less amongst other criteria, could benefit from Government funding to make their homes more energy efficient this winter.
West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) has launched the second phase of the Homes Upgrade Grant. The scheme is designed to make a significant impact by ensuring that eligible households have access to affordable, energy-efficient heating solutions.
WNC have partnered with Agility Eco to deliver this scheme and to arrange and carry out the improvement assessment and all the retrofit work.
To be eligible for the scheme, homeowners must meet the following criteria:
How to Check Eligibility:
You can check if your property has an EPC and learn about your SAP score by at Find an energy certificate - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
West Northamptonshire Council understands that energy efficiency needs may change over time. If work has been done on your property since your last EPC assessment, your SAP score may have improved. Our dedicated installers will be able to verify your eligibility during your assessment.
Cllr Jonathan Nunn, Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Strategy and for Sustainability, said: “We are delighted to be supporting this Government initiative in order to provide support to residents with vital funding through the second phase of the Home Upgrade Grant. This is an important opportunity for local residents to improve their homes and save money on their energy bills and I would encourage anyone who thinks they might be eligible to find out more. It is also a huge step in the right direction towards our Net Zero 2030 commitment, as this grant will enable residents to reduce their carbon emissions”.
