The North Yorkshire Home Efficiency Fund will help reduce energy bills, keep homes warmer and reduce carbon emissions.
Homeowners and private renters can apply if they think they meet the eligibility criteria and their property is suitable.
For privately rented properties, landlords are required to make a contribution to cover one third of the total costs of the measures installed.
Funding has been secured from the Government as part of their pledge to upgrade inefficient homes.
The council is working with energy experts YES Energy Solutions to qualify residents for the scheme.
Are you eligible?
The North Yorkshire Home Efficiency Fund will help residents living in homes with poor energy efficiency ratings who also have a low income.
To qualify residents must:
- Have a household income of £30,000 or less,
Or
- Receive income related benefits
Is your property eligible?
You must also live in a property with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of E, F or G.
(EPC band D is accepted if there's fewer than 30% D rated properties signed up to the scheme).
Find your EPC on the Government’s website here.
A new EPC can be done if your property does not already have one.
Your property type and structure will impact what measures and funding you can receive.
What could you receive?
If you qualify for the North Yorkshire Home Efficiency Fund, your property will undergo a survey to see which improvements would improve its warmth and efficiency the most.
Your property type will also affect how much funding you can receive, it could be up to £10,000 or £25,000 for off-gas properties.
Examples of what you could receive for free include:
- External wall insulation
- Loft insulation
- Cavity wall insulation
- Solar panels (PV)
- Air source heat pump
- High heat retention electric storage heaters
If you and your property is eligible for the measure(s) in the scheme, our surveyor partners will create a plan that selects one or more measures to provide maximum benefits.
