Possible improvements
Should you be eligible and your local council have funding available – a home survey will be arranged to determine areas where energy efficiency could be improved in your home.
Such improvements could include:
- wall, loft and underfloor insulation
- air source heat pumps
- smart controls
- solar panels
Once the survey has been completed, your local council will organise and pay for improvements that you have agreed to. You do not need to pay for the work.
If you have a landlord, the landlord may need to pay for some of the improvements.
