Homes could get £400 energy bill boost and £7,500 boiler help

Homeowners can benefit from a new initiative which will potentially save them £400 a year on energy bills. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has allocated £75 million to councils and housing associations to install insulation, heat pumps and double glazing.

State for Energy Security Claire Coutinho said money from the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund to offer free upgrades to tenants’ homes including insulation, double glazing and the installation of heat pumps. The scheme is already working to reach around 100,000 households. “This funding today will help up to a further 8,800 households save around £400 a year on their energy bills.”

“We’re now going even further to cut energy bills for more social tenants, all while supporting an additional 1,300 jobs in the UK’s retrofit industry. The government is allocating around £20 billion over this Parliament and next to improve the energy efficiency and low carbon heating of homes and businesses, reducing reliance on fossil fuel heating and reducing household energy bills.
