Central Heating

Why are grants being offered?
Grants exist to help the Government to achieve two important policy objectives:

The elimination of 'fuel poverty' by helping those on low incomes to save money on their heating bills and to enjoy a warmer, more comfortable home.

The reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, the cause of climate change, by encouraging everyone, especially those able to pay, to save energy by insulating their homes. The so-called 'Energy Efficency Commitment' programme requires energy suppliers to encourage householders to insulate their homes and grants are available to help them to achieve specific targets.

Low income households

You may be entitled to have the work carried out with a 100% grant. There are many different schemes in operation today, some funded by Government and some by energy suppliers such as SWALEC and British Gas. The rules can be complicated. Contact us to find out whether or not you qualify. You may be able to have this work done for free!!

We carry out work under the major Government-funded schemes.

We work under contract to the major energy suppliers.

Homeowners not on benefits
Every energy supplier has a scheme which provides grants for home insulation available to everyone, irrespective of status. They are all different. Some are best for cavity wall insulation, another may be better for loft. It can depend on the type of property you own and the fuel you use for heating. To make matters worse, the picture is constantly changing as schemes come and go or are re-launched. But it is certainly worth the effort of applying for a grant - it can amount to a significant part of the total cost of the work.

Seem complicated? Well, yes, it is - but leave it to Excelsior to find the best deals. We have access to many schemes, one of which will be ideal. Contact us to find out what's on offer for you.

Payment of grant
To make life as simple as possible for you, we fill out all the paperwork and claim the grant on your behalf. You only pay your own contribution, if there is any to pay. And make no mistake about it. These are genuine grants and not some dreamt-up marketing person's half-price sale! British Gas, SWALEC and other energy suppliers pay hard cash into our account each week. So grab yours now whilst grants are still available!

With the help of grants, we can now offer cavity wall and loft insulation at prices lower than they were 20 years ago! Contact us for further details.
