Sustainable warmth scheme

Homeowners with incomes below £30,000 (or £20,000 after housing costs), may be eligible for a non-repayable grant worth up to £10,000 to improve home energy efficiency.

The funding typically pays for home insulation and new heating systems.

Home appliance energy use

Some electrical household appliances use a lot of electricity while others don’t. The Centre for Sustainable Energy has published a guide showing the energy consumption rates for everyday household appliances.


Smart meters

Smart energy meters can also help manage your energy use. If you don’t have one already, contact your energy supplier to arrange an installation.
