Only certain types of properties, such as residential homes , may qualify. This could include owner-occupied homes, rental properties, and social housing.
2. Energy Efficiency
Properties may need to meet a minimum energy performance standard or show potential for significant improvement in energy efficiency through the proposed measures.
3. Type of Measures
Funding is usually provided for specific energy-efficient or renewable energy measures, such as insulation, heating system upgrades, solar panels, and heat pumps.
4. Income Level
: Some schemes prioritize low-income households or vulnerable groups, ensuring that those who need financial assistance the most receive it.
5. Application Process
Applicants may need to submit detailed proposals or undergo an assessment to demonstrate the expected energy savings and environmental benefits of the proposed improvements.
6. Compliance with Regulations
Projects must comply with local building codes and regulations, ensuring that installations meet safety and performance standards.
7. Accredited Installers
Installations typically need to be carried out by accredited or approved contractors to ensure quality and compliance with scheme requirements.
