If you’re concerned about paying your utility bills due to the coronavirus pandemic, help is available from energy and water companies. See full info for energy suppliers and water companies , plus lots more help if you’re struggling financially, in our Coronavirus Finance & Bills Help guide.
Energy is one of the main grant-giving areas, as substantial Government funding is available to reduce our impact on the environment. The Government, energy suppliers and local authorities all provide grants to help you implement energy saving measures.
It’s worth everyone checking if they meet the criteria. Here’s some inspiration…
I have been lucky enough to qualify for a brand new boiler. I didn’t think I’d meet the criteria but I did, so check and see if you qualify too.
The end result of these grants is an increase in your home’s value, warmth and economy. Of course, big savings are available by cutting costs or insuring your boiler against breakdown. Check out our Cheap Gas & Electricity and Boiler Cover guides.

There are wads of freebies on offer from energy providers, from new boilers to loft and cavity wall insulation. It’s all part of their efficiency obligations to people in certain groups. It’s mainly for those receiving certain benefits, such as universal credit, tax credits, pension credit or income-based benefits. The full Free Insulation & Boilers guide has more, but below’s a taster of what you can get:
Heating accounts for around 60% of what you spend in a year on energy bills. Depending on your boiler’s age, a shiny new efficient one could save you up to £315/year.
Most homes built between 1920 and 1990 have a gap between internal and external walls. Filling the cavity with insulating mineral wool and foam means cold air’s kept out, and warm air stays in, which can save an average three-bedroom home up to £255/yr. It’s not for everyone, so make sure it’s appropriate for your home first.
Up to a quarter of your home’s heat escapes via the roof, but you can solve this by laying mineral wool under the rafters, saving up to £225/yr.

A boiler grant is a form of subsidy that enables homeowners and families with low incomes to have their old boiler system replaced with a brand new boiler at little or no cost. The scheme was developed to not only help underprivileged families access the heating and hot water they need, but also to aid government initiatives in increasing energy-efficiency.
By getting new boilers installed into homes, the government helps to reduce households’ carbon footprint as most modern boilers are A-rated for energy-efficiency. According to the Energy Savings Trust, a new boiler could also help the households save money – up to £200 can be saved on annual energy bills when using a modern, A-rated boiler*.
Boiler grants are subsidised by the ‘Big Six’ energy suppliers; namely British Gas, EDF Energy, Npower, Scottish Power and SSE. They are non-repayable, so you won’t have to make any repayments for your new boiler in the future.
