The Green Homes Grant seeks to enhance the energy efficiency of homes across the UK, with the following objectives in mind:

1. Reduction of household carbon emissions, contributing to the nation’s climate change commitments.

2. Lowering energy bills for homeowners and landlords, promoting affordability and sustainability.

Eligibility for the Green Homes Grant

 

Qualifying Criteria

Both homeowners and landlords in the UK, including Cardiff and South Wales, are eligible to apply for the Green Homes Grant. However, the scheme has set specific requirements for assistance:

1. Grants are available for energy efficiency measures classified into two categories – primary and secondary measures.

2. To qualify for a secondary measure grant, homeowners must install at least one primary measure.

3. Vouchers must be used to complete the improvements within three months of the issue date.

 

Energy Efficiency Measures Under the Green Homes Grant

 

Primary Measures

The Green Homes Grant offers financial support for primary measures, which focus on insulation and low-carbon heating solutions, such as:

1. Insulation: Solid wall, cavity wall, under-floor, loft, or flat roof insulation to enhance heat retention.

2. Low-carbon heating systems: Air or ground source heat pumps, solar thermal systems, or biomass pellet boilers to reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption.

These primary measures offer the greatest impact on a home’s energy efficiency and carbon footprint.

 

Secondary Measures

Secondary measures eligible under the Green Homes Grant include:

1. Windows and doors: Double or triple glazing, energy-efficient replacements for single-glazed windows, and insulated doors.

2. Heating controls and insulation: Smart thermostats, hot water tank insulation, and thermostatic radiator valves that allow precise heating control.

Homeowners are eligible for secondary measure grants only if they install at least one primary measure and the grant amount cannot exceed that of the primary measure.
