The government will pay at least two thirds of the cost of energy saving private home improvements under the green homes grant due to launch in september and last for one year. You ll have to apply for a voucher once the scheme is up and running in september and will then be able to spend it to improve your home. Insulation double glazing energy efficient doors and heat pumps are among the home improvements eligible for financial support from the government s green homes grant scheme.

This means that for an improvement costing 4 000 a homeowner would pay 1 320 while the government would contribute the remaining 2 680. Homeowners will be given 5 000 in energy saving vouchers to help them insulate their homes. The idea is that the government will give homeowners in england vouchers towards the cost of energy efficient improvements which should cover much and in some cases all of the cost. The new policy is part of rishi sunak s plans to create more than 100 000 green jobs and kickstart.

Homeowners in england can apply for 5 000 of vouchers for energy efficient home improvements from late september 2020 until 31 march 2021. Energy is one of the main grant giving areas as substantial government funding is available to reduce our impact on the environment. The government energy suppliers and local authorities all provide grants to help you implement energy saving measures.
