VOUCHER

Homeowners will have to make an online application from September 2020, detailing the energy efficiency measures they wish to carry out. In this case, a new boiler replacement would be your choice. These details will then forwarded to accredited local suppliers like Harvard Heating

Under the scheme, the government will pay at least two-thirds of the cost of home improvements that save energy, up to £5,000. 

For example, if you were to have a new, more energy-efficient boiler installed for around £2,000, then the government would contribute around £1,333 and you, the homeowner would pay around £666.

Once we have issued you a quote and the requested new boiler replacement has been approved, then the government will issue the voucher towards the work.

The Green Homes Grant was introduced in July 2020 by Chancellor Rishi Sunak to help homeowners make their homes more energy efficient. It is set to launch in September 2020.

Once launched, the government will pay two-thirds of energy-efficient home improvements up to £5,000. 

However, homeowners should be wary of cowboy builders and traders who don’t have adequate experience, who will be looking to profit off this initiative. 

As an accredited local supplier, with consistent great reviews from our customers and over 20 years of professional experience, we can offer you the advice and reassurance that you will be able to realise the full benefits from this Green Homes grant.

More Information

Harvard Heating Services hope to provide a useful resource below to help Homeowners understand more about the Green Home Grant.

WHAT IS THE GREEN HOME GRANT?

The Green Homes Grant scheme will provide £2bn for projects such as ensuring houses are properly insulated. This is part of a wider £3bn plan to cut carbon emissions. 

The grants will be provided in the form of vouchers which can be used towards making energy-efficient improvements to homes. 

 

The Treasury claims that utilising these vouchers could save families up to £300 a year on energy bills, although it is not clear how this has been calculated. Sunak confirmed that the average annual saving will likely be in the region of £200.

WHO CAN APPLY FOR THE VOUCHERS

The chancellor revealed that both homeowners and landlords would be eligible in his statement, but we await further details. The chancellor confirmed that up to 650,000 homes will be covered by the grant.

The poorest households will be eligible to receive up to £10,000 towards these improvements. And these poorest homeowners will not have to contribute anything to the cost. 

WHAT DOES THE GREEN HOME GRANT COVER?

Homeowners will be able to spend these vouchers on a myriad of improvements, including:

  • Loft and floor insulation

  • New, more efficient boilers

  • Heat pumps

  • Energy-efficient lighting

  • Double or triple glazed windows

  • Energy-efficient doors

WHEN WILL IT BE AVAILABLE?

Applications for the grant will open in early September 2020.
