Home Upgrade Grants

Whaddon Parish Council is pleased to pass on the following Grant Opportunity;

Buckinghamshire Council has been awarded funding through the government funded scheme, the Home Upgrade Grant 2, which provides free energy efficiency and clean heating upgrades to fuel poor homes to make homes warmer whilst reducing household energy bills and carbon emissions.

With applications closing at the end of September 2024, there is only a couple of months left for residents to register their interest in the scheme.

Residents may be eligible for the Home Upgrade Grant 2 if:

• Their property doesn’t use mains gas for heating e.g. instead use electricity, oil, LPG, solid fuel heating
• Their household has a combined annual income of no more than £36,000 (gross) or, under £20,000 after rent or mortgage costs
• Their property has an Energy Performance rating (EPC) D-G (or D-E if they’re private renters)

Eligible residents may receive measures such as

• Insulation upgrades e.g. loft insulation and cavity wall insulation
• Ventilation upgrades
• A low carbon heating system such as an air source heat pump.
• Heating controls so occupants only use heat when they need it.

Kind Regards

Parish Clerk
