​

Eligibility

​

You may be eligible if you:

• live in England or Wales

• own your property (whether this is a home or a small non-domestic property)

• ​

The property will need to have:

• an installation capacity up to 45kWth (this covers most homes)

• a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) with no outstanding recommendations for loft or cavity wall insulation (unless you have an insulation exemption)

• ​

New build properties will not normally be eligible. The only exception is if you’re building your own home.

Your installer will advise whether a low carbon heating system is suitable for your property.

​

If you’re claiming other grants or funding -

You can still apply if you’ve received separate funding for energy efficiency upgrades such as insulation, doors or windows.

​

If you’re replacing an existing low carbon heating system -

Funding will not be available for the replacement of existing low carbon heating systems. Only properties which are fully replacing existing fossil fuel systems (such as oil, gas or direct electric) will be eligible for support.
