And even better, EnergySmart can be the people to guide you through the steps – and carry out the all-important work – making the journey towards cheaper energy bills that little bit smoother.

Steep increases in the cost of electricity and gas have become an unwelcome reality for many households.

Paying those increasing energy bills has become a financial worry and a burden on people’s pockets.

But there are ways you can upgrade your homes and you don’t need to panic about how you would afford those improvements.

How to get a grant to make your home energy-efficient

EnergySmart is an accredited energy efficiency installer and us authorised to claim free grants on your behalf, and then make the improvements to your home.

An initiative put in place to tackle the increasing costs of energy bills is the Energy Company Obligation scheme (ECO).

It’s a scheme led by the government which ensures that larger energy suppliers fund and implement energy-saving measures in people’s homes.

This helps vulnerable households and those living in low-income homes save money as their properties will be more energy efficient.

EnergySmart checks people’s eligibility for a free ECO grant and then moves on to installing the energy-saving measures.

EnergySmart Managing Director Harvey Mason said: “Not many people are aware of the grants that are available. The average value of the grants we process is £37,900 per household, which can pay for all kinds of energy saving upgrades such as solar panels, central heating, insulation and more. As an accredited enery company obligation installer, we’re very proud to be able to help the local community in securing these grants and assisting people with making their homes more energy efficient”

The energy-saving changes that can make a difference

EnergySmart will assess what a property needs to improve energy-efficiency, check funding eligibility, and then complete the installation.

New to your home, and ultimately kind to your pocket could be:

- Better insulation

- Air source heat pumps

- Solar panels

- Boiler upgrades

- Storage heaters

There are other benefits to applying for an ECO grant, as well as the outcome of efficiently improving a home.

There are the obvious cost savings, a healthier indoor environment, a reduced carbon footprint, it helps alleviate fuel poverty, and the benefit of the professional advice from a team such as EnergySmart which will influence a home’s energy usage for years to come.

An award-winning team

EnergySmart is now one of the largest ECO installation companies in the UK and it has generated millions of pounds in annual energy bill savings for thousands of households across the UK.

It’s also an award-winning team, picking up the accolade for Vulnerable Customer Support and also “highly commended” in the Installer of the Year category at the SouthEast Energy Efficiency Awards.

Anyone on a low income, unemployed or retired, could benefit from the ECO free grants, and from the guidance and support that EnergySmart can provide.
