Homeowners can receive up to £15,000 as a grant that does not need to be repaid, with up to £7,500 available for energy efficiency improvements like insulation and up to £7,500 for clean heating systems such as heat pumps. Rural households can apply for an additional £1,500 for energy efficiency improvements and up to £1,500 extra for clean heating systems. The program also offers interest-free loans to cover additional costs.
