A range of Government funded grants are available to householders to suit their circumstances and scale of retrofit work they wish to undertake. Over the last year the measures available under these grants have been expanded to promote deeper measures and support the transition away from fossil fuel heating systems.

Since the introduction of these grants nearly 400,000 homes across the country have received an upgrade, representing nearly one home in five across the country.

The table below presents the amount spent, per county, on the Better Energy Homes Scheme, Warmer Homes Scheme and Warmth and Wellbeing Pilot Scheme combined from 2016 to end of September 2019.

The Deep Retrofit Pilot Scheme and Better Energy Communities Scheme facilitate projects spanning across counties and for that reason, a county breakdown is not readily available.

The table below presents the amount spent under the Deep Retrofit Pilot from 2017 (when the pilot was launched) to end of September 2019.

The table below presents the number of projects and spend from 2016 to end of September 2019 under the Better Energy Communities Scheme.
