Up to £5,600 will be available to households in England and Wales to help with the cost of installing energy saving improvements such as solid wall insulation, double glazing, boilers, cavity wall and floor insulation.
So what’s on offer?
- up to £3,750 for installing solid wall insulation;
- and/or up to £1,250 for installing two of the following improvements;
- Cavity wall insulation
- Condensing mains gas boiler
- Secondary glazing
- Double/triple glazing (replacing single glazing)
- Flat roof insulation

Plus:
- up to £100 refunded for their Green Deal Assessment;
- up to £500 more if applying within 12 months of buying a new home.
Martin Lewis, founder and editor of MoneySavingExpert.com, says:
“There’s nothing that generates action better than free cash – which is what effectively the Home Improvement Fund is. So yet again demand is likely to be huge - the first time it was done £120m went in six weeks, then £24m went within 48 hours, so this time I suspect £70m to last not much longer than a week.”
