News, events and schools' information for families across Bath and West Wiltshire

North Somerset Council and Bath and North East Somerset Council, in partnership with Bristol City Council, has secured more funding from the government’s Home Upgrade Grant to help eligible households install energy saving measures.

Eligible households may be entitled to receive up to £25,000 of funding for a huge range of energy saving and low carbon technologies, which will be incredibly important as we look ahead to the colder winter months. These measures include:

  • external wall insulation
  • cavity wall insulation
  • loft insulation
  • underfloor insulation
  • double glazing
  • energy efficient doors
  • solar PV

To be eligible for this round of funding, households must:

  • Not use gas central heating. The scheme is only open to households who use fossil fuel (oil, coal, LPG) or electric heating systems.
  • Have a combined gross annual household income under £30,000 per year.
  • Have a valid Energy Performance Certificate with a rating of D, E, F, or G.
  • Live in Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset or North Somerset Council areas.
  • Be the owner, landlord or private rented tenant of the property.

The scheme has funding for a limited number of homes across Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset and North Somerset. If your household meets the eligibility criteria, please complete the online questionnaire.
