Home Upgrade Grant - help to improve a home with no gas boiler
Energy improvements for off-gas homes
Ending this year, a £7 million government scheme will pay for efficiency improvements to hundreds of off-grid homes in Herefordshire that are hard to heat. Act now so you don't miss out. All homes have to be surveyed and approved for funding before mid December 2024.
The Home Upgrade Grant scheme is provided exclusively by Herefordshire Council, in partnership with energy charity Marches Energy Agency.

What kind of improvements?
Home energy experts will carefully survey your property and design the most effective set of improvements, to make the biggest difference to the efficiency, comfort and cost of powering your home.
Some homes will benefit most from maximising insulation and draughtproofing. Some will also get state-of-the-art heating systems.
Many households will be offered more than one upgrade from a wide range of energy-saving technologies, and receive fully-funded home improvements worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Marches Energy Agency is working with us to deliver the grant improvements. If the checker shows you are eligible, Marches Energy Agency will contact you.
