The Home Upgrade Grant phase 2 (HUG2) is available to help homes that:
- are not on mains gas
- have poor quality insulation
- have inefficient heating systems
What can the Home Upgrade Grant be used for?
The grant can be used for improvements such as insulation and solar panels to air source heat pumps and smart heating controls.
These will help you save money on your energy bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Who is eligible for the grant?
To qualify for the new scheme residents must have:
- a household income of £31,000 or less and/or
- meet other eligibility checks
Those living in private rented properties are eligible to apply although landlords must contribute at least a third of the total cost of the upgrade.
Properties must also be technically suitable for the measures available in the scheme and have a low energy efficient rating (between D and G on an energy performance certificate). Further information on energy performance certificates can be found on the GOV.UK website.
