Insulation, Heating & Solar PV Grants
Reduce Your Energy Bills With a Home Upgrade Grant
Households who meet certain criteria can claim up to 100% of the cost of home insulation, heating and solar upgrades. Find out what you could be entitled to:
Home Insulation
- Underfloor, cavity wall, interior wall, loft, and room-in-the-roof applications.
Heating Upgrades
- Cost-effective storage heaters and efficient air-source heat pumps to keep your home warm.
Renewable Energy
- Solar panel installations that can meet the majority of your household’s electrical requirements.
Do You Qualify for a Government Grant?
There are several heating and insulation grants available to Isle of Wight residents, and each one has specific eligibility criteria.
Generally speaking, you’ll need to be receiving certain benefits OR have a gross annual household income of less than £36,000 before housing costs (benefits count towards this figure).
You’ll also need to own or privately rent a property with a poor Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating (typically D, E, F, or G).
Landlords could be entitled to a grant if their tenants are eligible. Those not on benefits but deemed by the local authority to be on a low income and vulnerable to the effects of living in a cold home could also qualify.
Please note that, unfortunately, we cannot assist Council or Housing Association tenants.
Eligible Benefits:
- Income based Jobseekers Allowance (JSA)
- Income related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
- Income Support (IS)
- Pension Credit Guarantee Credit (PCGC)
- Working Tax Credit (WTC)
- Child Tax Credit (CTC)
- Universal Credit (UC)
- Housing Benefit
- Pension Credit Savings Credit (PCSC),
- Child Benefit
