Energy efficient homes are both better for the environment and are cheaper to run, and I’d encourage all Leicester homeowners to take a look at the Green Homes Grant scheme
The scheme is open for applications now – Leicester City Council has been been awarded £3.75million in funding for the Green Homes Grant scheme, which its delivering in partnership with E.ON. Please note that it is not necessary to be a customer of E.ON to apply for the grants.
The grants are designed to help homeowners with the costs of making their properties more energy efficient.
Grants of up to £10,000 per household are available, and owner-occupied properties don’t have to pay a contribution towards the cost of work.
Eligibility criteria, and more general information about the scheme is set out on Leicester City Council website: https://www.leicester.gov.uk/your-council/policies-plans-and-strategies/energy-efficiency/green-homes-grant-local-authority-delivery-scheme/
E.ON’s website also gives more information: https://www.eonenergy.com/green-homes-grant.html
