Quick answer
UK home energy grants include ECO4, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, Warm Homes: Local Grant, and country-specific support such as Nest in Wales and Home Energy Scotland. The Great British Insulation Scheme closed to new applications on 31 March 2026. Eligibility depends on your income, EPC rating, tenure and area.
Loft, cavity wall, solid wall and room-in-roof insulation are the most commonly funded measures, particularly for EPC D-G homes.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides a grant towards heat pump installation. Scotland operates its own grant and loan via Home Energy Scotland.
