My Green Grant is an independent information service. We are NOT the government, Ofgem, or any official scheme, and we are not affiliated with them. Grant rules, amounts and dates change often — always confirm your eligibility on GOV.UK, Ofgem, or with your local council before acting. This is general information, not financial or tax advice. We connect you with independent MCS-certified installers and may be compensated by them.

Step 1 — Where do you live? (this matters most)

England: In England you can access the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (£7,500 heat pump grant, no income limit), 0% VAT, the Smart Export Guarantee, and — if lower income — ECO4 and the Warm Homes: Local Grant via your council.
Wales: In Wales you can access the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (£7,500), 0% VAT, the Smart Export Guarantee, ECO4, and the Welsh Government's Nest scheme for eligible lower-income households.
Scotland: Scotland does NOT use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Instead, Home Energy Scotland offers grants and interest-free loans, plus 0% VAT, the Smart Export Guarantee, and ECO4 for eligible households.
Northern Ireland: Northern Ireland has its own schemes (e.g. the NI Sustainable Energy Programme and Affordable Warmth) — the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and ECO4 work differently here. 0% VAT and the Smart Export Guarantee still apply. Always check NI Direct for current support.

Step 2 — What do you want to do?

Heat pump: England/Wales → Boiler Upgrade Scheme (£7,500, no income limit). Scotland → Home Energy Scotland grants/loans. Lower-income in Wales → Nest.
Solar panels: everyone gets 0% VAT + the Smart Export Guarantee (you're paid for exported power). Lower-income routes may also fund panels.
Insulation: 0% VAT for all; lower-income households may get it free via ECO4, Warm Homes (England), Nest (Wales) or Home Energy Scotland.
EV charger: grants now mainly for renters/flat owners — check GOV.UK.

Step 3 — What's your situation?

Anyone (any income): 0% VAT on solar/heat pumps/insulation; Boiler Upgrade Scheme (heat pumps, England & Wales); Smart Export Guarantee (solar).
Lower income / on benefits + older home (EPC D–G): you may get free or heavily subsidised work via ECO4, the Warm Homes: Local Grant (England), Nest (Wales), or Home Energy Scotland.
Off the gas grid (oil/LPG heating): the Boiler Upgrade Scheme rises to £9,000.

Step 4 — Before you commit

Check your EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) — many grants need a valid one with no outstanding insulation recommendations.
Use an MCS-certified installer (required for most grants) and get at least two quotes.
Confirm the current rules on GOV.UK / Ofgem — amounts and dates change often.
