Details of the new Green Homes Grant have now been released.
Vouchers up to £5,000 (and up to £10,000 for the poorest households) will be available from the end of September.
Householders in England can claim a voucher and use it to pay for environmentally friendly improvements.
The Government will provide a voucher that covers two-thirds of the cost of the improvement work to the home, up to the maximum voucher value.
A list of full qualifying benefits for the increased £10,000 voucher is now available on the Simple Energy Advice website www.simpleenergyadvice.org.uk/pages/green-homes-grant
The installer will receive payment directly from the government for the costs covered by the voucher.
You can see the full list of improvements and obtain quotes from tradespeople now and vouchers will start to be issued from the end of September.
The scheme ends on 31 March 2021 so you must redeem the voucher and ensure improvements are completed by this date.
Measures covered by the scheme include insulation (loft and cavity wall) which are vital to help reduce our carbon footprint but also should help households save money on their energy bills.
The government aim is to upgrade 600,000 homes in England and save people up to £600.
Further and full details of the scheme, how to apply, and the eligibility are on the Simple Energy Advice website.
