";s:4:"text";s:11240:"<p>Future Publishing Limited Quay House, The Ambury, </p> <p>The Green Homes Grant is scheme is now open to help make homeowners make energy-efficient improvements to their homes. Vouchers for secondary measures are capped at the same amount provided in relation to the primary measures. Solar thermal (solar panels which can be used for heating water), Double or triple glazing when replacing single glazing, Secondary glazing when in addition to single glazing, External energy-efficient doors when replacing single glazed or solid doors installed before 2002, Hot water tank thermostats and insulation. All rights reserved. Any owner occupiers or social or private landlords in England can apply. </p> <p>© The grants will be provided in the form of vouchers which can be used towards making specific energy-efficient improvements to homes. </p> <p>Homebuilding is part of Future plc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. </p> <p>Paul Rose, CEO of Politics Home, said: "Many would no doubt welcome help to make their homes more energy efficient and the Green Homes Grant scheme could help. You will receive a verification email shortly. </p> <p>Then, you can make an online application using the government website to obtain a voucher, detailing the energy efficiency measures you wish to carry out. The Green Homes Grant can be used in conjunction with the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), but only if you do not currently receive RHI payments for the specific installation you are applying for with the grant. You will have to act quick as the work will have to be completed by 31 March 2021. </p> <p>The scheme is part of a wider £3 billion investment in green technology, with the aim of making the UK carbon neutral by 2050. Also, bear in mind that tradespeople will be booked up quickly, so you'll need to get the ball rolling early. The name and date of birth of the property owner(s). </p> <p>However, the omission of gas boilers from the eligible improvements has divided expert. </p> <p> Only local and approved TrustMark and Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) registered tradespeople can carry out the work. </p> <p>In response to industry experts calling for programmes to make it easier to skilled tradespeople to benefit through the scheme, the government has launched a Green Homes Grant training competition to upskill tradespeople. New-build properties that have not been occupied before are not eligible. For example, if you claim £1,500 for insulation, then you will receive a maximum of £1,500 for double glazing. It is recommended to obtain at least three quotes to make sure you are getting the best value for money. It is complicated to navigate, and one of the key components is that consumers must get a quote from an accredited installer before they can apply. What if I don’t qualify for a Green Homes Grant? </p> <p>Insulation, double glazing and heat pumps are among the eligible improvements under the scheme, but gas boilers are not included. Agree to install an £10,000 air source heat pump and the government will contribute the first £5,000 – or the whole amount if you are on certain benefits. There are just 600,000 vouchers up for grabs in the Green Homes Grant Energy scheme, so you will have to act quick. If you already own a heat pump covered by RHI, then you could choose to have a further renewable heat measure (such as solar thermal) under the Green Homes Grant. People in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are not eligible for the scheme. It’s forcing people to go down the cheapest route”. You can get the vouchers, you must own a home in England. While it typically costs the average UK home £10,000-£12,000 to replace a standard gas boiler with an air source heat pump, households can use the £5,000 voucher above, in conjunction with the government’s Renewable Heat Incentive payments, which combined with the potential savings on your energy bill could cover the full cost of the new system. We understand that before work can begin, a review of the energy efficiency of your home will need to be undertaken. The vouchers will be worth about two-thirds of the cost of the energy efficient improvements, up to a maximum of £5,000 per household. Homeowners must install at least one measure from the primary category in order to qualify for the vouchers.
