How the wizard works

UK energy grant eligibility runs on six variables: where you live (England / Scotland / Wales / Northern Ireland — different schemes apply per nation), your current EPC band, your Council Tax band, your property type, what heating system you currently have, and whether you own or rent. The wizard runs the published rules for each active scheme against your inputs and lists which apply.

Schemes the wizard checks

  • Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) — England and Wales. £7,500 for air source heat pump, £7,500 for ground source, plus an extra £1,500 (£9,000 in total) where the property is heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas connection, until March 2027. Owner-occupier, valid EPC, replacing fossil fuel heating. To 2028.
  • Warm Homes Plan — UK-wide. Its Warm Homes: Local Grant route funds whole-home retrofit under two separate cost caps of £16,600 per home, one for energy performance upgrades and one for low carbon heating. Eligibility varies by local authority and EPC band.
  • Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) — closed 31 March 2026. It covered England (Council Tax A-D + EPC D-G), Scotland and Wales (band A-E), funding loft, cavity wall and solid wall insulation.
  • Warmer Homes Scotland / Home Energy Scotland — Scotland-only. Combined grant + interest-free loan up to ~£15,000 for renewables, plus full grants for insulation in low-income homes.
  • Nest (Wales) — Wales-only. Means-tested grants for heating, insulation, and renewables. Free for eligible households.
  • NIEA Affordable Warmth — Northern Ireland-only. Insulation and heating grants for low-income households.
  • ECO4 — ended March 2026, included for context only. GBIS now covers the equivalent insulation lane.

What the wizard doesn't do

The output is indicative. Final eligibility on means-tested schemes depends on income, benefits, and household circumstances that aren't captured here. Local authority specifics also vary (some areas have additional top-up funding, others have stricter eligibility). Use the result as a shortlist, then check the specific scheme guides we link to, and apply through the listed routes.
