Up to £5,600 will be available to households in England and Wales to help with the cost of installing energy saving measures such as solid wall insulation, double glazing, boilers, cavity wall and floor insulation.

 

The GDHIF third release offers a new incentive rate of up to £1250 for installing any two measure from an approved list of eleven energy saving measures, detailed below. The 25% increase in rate makes it even more appealing for thousands more householders throughout England and Wales to undertake multiple measure improvements and enjoy a warmer home for less.

 

With the GDHIF Third Release, domestic energy customers will be able to receive:

 

• up to £3750 for installing solid wall insulation;

• and/or up to £1250 for installing two measures from an approved list*

• up to £100 refunded for their Green Deal Assessment if it recommends the measure(s) applied for;

• up to £500 more if applying within 12 months of buying a new home.

 

GDHIF funds are limited and DECC may vary the terms of the scheme (including the incentive rates) or suspend or close the scheme, with immediate effect, without notice and at any time.

 

More people will enjoy a warmer home for less through a new release of the Green Deal Home Improvement Fund (GDHIF) worth up to £70 million.
