Home Upgrade Grant Phase 2 (HUG2)

Apply online now

Enter your postcode to apply for free energy saving measures.

Please note: This grant is available to properties that are not primarily heated by mains gas.

Action Surrey and their partnership of eleven local authorities have been awarded funding to help off-gas, Surrey residents improve the energy efficiency of their homes.

The Home Upgrade Grant (Phase 2) is available to low-income or stretched-income households with hard-to-heat properties.

If your property is mains-gas heated you will not be eligable for funded work under this grant but you may qualify for other schemes, click here to find out more.

To be eligible, both of the following criteria must be met and evidenced:

If your household income exceeds £36,000 annually, get in touch with us and we can ask you some additional questions to see if you qualify.

Owner-occupiers are not expected to contribute towards the cost of works. Upgrades to privately rented properties require a landlord contribution (minimum ⅓ of the cost) and the tenants must meet the income criteria.

Please note: The grant cannot be used to make a rented property compliant with minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES). Therefore, landlords of privately rented properties with an EPC rated F or G must supply proof of a MEES exemption.

Eligible measures

Cavity wall insulation
External wall insulation
Park home insulation*
Loft insulation, including top-ups
Underfloor Insulation
Solar photovoltaics
Solar hot water system
Air source heat pump
New windows and doors

* Please note that upgrades to park homes are strictly limited and cannot be prioritised.

We are currently unable to fund Solar Battery Storage and cannot guarantee funding for Solar PV bird protection or roofline extensions for external wall insulation.

If you have received funded measures under the previous Sustainable Warmth (HUG1) grant, the measures offered may be restricted.

Please note that grant conditions require a ‘fabric-first’ approach to be adopted, therefore insulation measures will be prioritised before renewables.

Our installers are all accredited to the most up-to-date standards. Therefore, subject to survey, the installation of ventilation is likely to be required. This will also be funded and is non-negotiable.The works cannot be funded without required ventilation being installed.
