Think you don’t qualify for energy saving grants? You might be wrong

Let’s be honest: when it comes to government grants, most people assume the same thing…

“I probably won’t qualify.”

But here’s the truth – and it might surprise you:

Over 72% of households One Energy checks are eligible for energy saving grants. That’s nearly 3 out of every 4 people.

So if you’re reading this and assuming it’s not for you, it’s definitely worth a second look.

It’s not just for people on benefits

Yes, some schemes are designed for households receiving benefits, but that’s only part of the story.

Here’s who else might qualify:

– Household income of £31,000 or less

– Anyone in the home with certain health conditions (like respiratory or cardiovascular issues)

– Homes with poor energy ratings (D, E, F or G)

– Landlords and tenants in eligible properties

– Households with children or older adults, where the home is inefficient

Under a council-backed initiative called LA Flex (Local Authority Flexible Eligibility), local councils have the power to approve grant funding based on health, income or vulnerability, even if you’re not on benefits.

Why One Energy is different

One Energy, based right here in Burnley, is on a mission to cut through the confusion.

While most companies only offer one scheme, One Energy works across every available government-backed grant, including:

– ECO4

– Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS)

– Boiler Upgrade Scheme

– Warm Homes Local Grant

– LA Flex (via your local council)

This means they’re not just trying to fit people into a box, they start with the customer, understand their circumstances, and then find the scheme that works.

“We’re seeing far too many people missing out because of myths,” says founder Harvey Mason. “If someone earns £30k and has two kids in a draughty home, they might still qualify. But they’d never know unless they asked.”

Common misconceptions (and the real facts)

Myth: “I’m not on benefits so I don’t qualify.”

Fact: Income, health and property type all count. Benefits are just one route.

Myth: “I rent so there’s nothing I can do.”

Fact: If you’re a tenant in an inefficient property, you still qualify.

Myth: “I’ll have to pay something later.”

Fact: Most schemes cover the full cost , and there’s no loan to repay if you qualify.
