Energy efficiency grants

Making your home more energy efficient helps the environment and can save money on your bills. If you are planning home improvements such as insulation, solar panels, a wind turbine or heat pump, you may be able to get some help with the cost.

Money is available from the Government, energy suppliers and local authorities.
