You might be able to get help for energy-saving improvements to your home if you either:

• claim certain benefits and live in private housing (for example you own your home or rent from a private landlord)
• live in social housing

You may get help with the cost of:

• insulation work, for example to your loft or cavity walls
• replacing or repairing your boiler - or other upgrades to your heating

If you claim benefits and live in private housing

You might be eligible for help if you live in private housing and get one of the following benefits:

• Child Tax Credit
• Working Tax Credit
• Universal Credit
• Pension Guarantee Credit
• Pension Savings Credit
• Income Support
• income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
• Child Benefit
• Housing Benefit

If you own your house, it must have an energy efficiency rating of D, E, F or G to be eligible.

If you rent from a private landlord, the house must have an energy efficiency rating of E, F or G to be eligible. You must have the owner’s permission to do the work.

Use the Energy Performance Certificate Register to find your property’s energy efficiency rating, or ask your landlord.
