If you are considering improving your home’s insulation or heating you may be eligible for a Warm Homes Scheme grant. The Warm Homes Scheme is designed to assist people in Northern Ireland in making their home warmer and more energy efficient. There are similar schemes in England, Scotland and Wales; click through to the relevant page for more details.
The Warm Homes Scheme is aimed at three groups of people. The first are those families with children under the age of 16 and who claim income based benefits such as Housing Benefit or Income Based Job Seekers Allowance. Expectant mothers claiming these benefits also qualify. The second group are householders claiming disability related benefits such as Disability Living Allowance, and the third group are over 60s who claim income or disability related benefits such as Pension Credit or Attendance Allowance. All of these groups are eligible for assistance towards insulating their home, for example towards the installation of loft or cavity wall insulation, draught proofing or energy advice with a grant of up to £850. In addition over 60s eligible for the Warm Homes Scheme grant are also entitled to upgrades or installations of central heating systems with the total value of the grant (including insulation measures) at £4,300.
