As Winter temperatures take hold, it’s easy to feel the cold, especially if your home isn’t as warm as it could be.
Inefficient heating systems and poor insulation can make your home feel more like an icebox than a cosy retreat. If you find yourself layering up, reaching for the blanket to watch TV, or avoiding certain chilly rooms in the house – you are not alone!
What if we told you there IS a way to beat the winter chill without breaking the bank? Smart Energy Homes help households across Wales and South West England access fully Government-funded home energy upgrades that make homes warmer, more energy efficient and cheaper to run.
Here’s everything you need to know about staying cosy this Winter and how to find out whether you could be eligible for free home energy upgrades.
Why winter is hard on your home
Winter isn’t just hard on your heating bills; it is harsh on your home too. Cold air can find its way in through gaps in windows and doors, older heating systems struggle to keep up in sub-zero temperatures, and uninsulated walls and roof spaces allow heat to escape fast.
For many households, these inefficiencies can lead to soaring energy bills and a home that is hard to keep warm.
Could you qualify for free home energy upgrades?
The good news is that help is available. Through the Government-backed ‘ECO4’ scheme, Smart Energy Homes offers eligible households free home energy upgrades worth up to £40,000. You may qualify if:
- Your home has a low Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of E,F or G
- Your combined household income is below £31,000 (gross)
- Someone in your household receives state benefit like Universal Credit, Pension Credit or Tax Credits
- You or a family member have reduced mobility, a cardiovascular, autoimmune or respiratory health condition
Checking your eligibility is quick and easy and could unlock many benefits for your home.
What’s included in a home energy upgrade?
If you qualify for ECO4 home energy upgrades, you could receive free upgrades tailored to your home’s needs, including:
- Energy efficient heating systems – replace outdated boilers, and electric or gas heaters with modern air-source heat pumps
- Home insulation – prevent heat loss with internal wall, cavity wall and lift insulation, keeping the warmth inside your home
- Solar panels – take your energy efficiency to the next level by generating your own renewable electricity.
These upgrades don’t just keep you warm; they also help lower your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
