Loft Insulation Grant

Did you know that approximately 25% of the warmth or heat in your house escapes through uninsulated loft or inefficient loft insulation? Despite the high cost of installing insulation, UK residents can still get free or partially funded insulation for their lofts. Eligible households can access loft insulation grants under the ECO4.

This is a government-backed programme that’s funded by the leading energy companies in the UK. The scheme offers funding for eligible households to help improve the overall energy efficiency of their homes. This initiative can also help reduce carbon footprint at a household level and allows property owners to make a considerable amount of savings on their energy bills.

Eligibility for a Loft Insulation Grant

Homeownership is one of the qualification criteria for loft insulation financial assistance under the ECO4 program. If you don’t own a home, you can seek permission from your landlord to handle significant home improvements such as the installation of loft insulation. Energy suppliers may require access to your loft assess it and handle installation.

The energy company is required to insulate at least two-thirds of the loft space. That means households with more than 100mm of already installed insulation may be excluded from the grant. Supposed you meet this requirement, you may qualify for a free insulation grant that you don’t need to pay back. Even when you are not entitled to a fully funded grant, it’s still a good idea to get a subsidy. That will allow you to make a considerable amount of financial savings on your budget.

Additionally, you need to be getting a qualifying benefit to access the loft insulation grants under the ECO4 programme. Note that you must be a household with an income of up to £31,000. Alternatively, you or someone within your household must be getting any of the following benefits;

Income Support
Income-Based Jobseeker’s Allowance
Pension Credit Guarantee Credit
Child Tax Credit
Working Tax Credit
Pension Credit Savings
Child Benefits (depending on income limits)
Housing Benefit
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance

Note that child benefits and the pension credit savings credit are currently qualifying benefits under the ECO4 programme. Consult our competent professionals to assess your eligibility for the insulation grants. This is an opportunity to get efficient insulation at no cost or an affordable cost.
