How much are the grants?

Grants are fixed for each type of measure as indicated in the table below.

Grant approval must be in place before any purchase of materials or commencement of measures undertaken.

Grants are paid after the measures are completed and the contractor has been paid by the homeowner.

In the instance where the cost of the work (vat inclusive) is less than the fixed grant amount, the actual cost will be reimbursed.

Energy Efficiency controls
If your hot water system has no form of time controller then you will be keeping water hot when it is not required and so have higher standing losses from the system which in turn wastes energy and money.

This is particularly true for peak-electric immersion heaters.

Timeclocks can be set to heat the water at set periods of the day or 'run-back' timers can be used to limit the duration of heating (typically up to 2 hours) when switched on manually.

You can also use the timer to switch the immersion heater on at night or other periods when an off-peak electricity tariff applies.
