National Heating Grant Schemes
Please note: Following the last 13 years of providing heating and insulation grants, the Warm Front scheme has unfortunately come to an end. To allow time for all applications to be processed, the Government have closed the scheme for new applications from 19th January 2013. Any applications already in thier system will be processed in the normal way until they are complete but no new applications will be accepted.
There is new funding available for heating and insulation that will replace Warm Front. To find out if you are eligible for help contact the Energy Saving Advice Service (ESAS) on 0300 123 1234 for advice.
Loft and Cavity Wall Insulation Grants
Insulating your walls and roof-space are two of the best ways of cutting your fuel bills, and making sure you can afford to keep warm. You could save up to £200 a year by installing these measures,
Grant funding has now changed in 2013 but now also includes help for harder to treat properties too such as solid wall buildings. Arun District Council is currently looking at setting up a local scheme using the new funding, however this is still being worked out. In the meantime if you would like to get your home insulated and to find out whether you are eligible for some insulation or even a new heating kit you should call the Energy Saving Advice Service (ESAS) 0300 123 1234 for further advice.
