Home energy grants: eligibility, routes and what to check

A route map for checking current UK and local energy support without promising funding or approval.

Funding Route Check

Status: check provider

Start at GOV.UK, then confirm the scheme administrator, tenure, postcode, EPC and installer requirements before commissioning work.

Support changes by nation, scheme, tenure, income, EPC, technology and installer accreditation. A household should identify the administering body before relying on an advert or an installer estimate.

Check whether an application, survey, referral or pre-approval is required before work starts. Keep the decision letter, eligibility evidence, quotations and invoices; grant rules may not fund work already started.

D-Core can discuss practical scope and sequencing, but does not decide eligibility, submit a grant application or guarantee an award.
