Green Energy Doctor and Grant Funding

Some of our renewable and sustainable technologies and installations qualify for grant funding.

Qualifying for Grant Funding

There are a number of energy efficiency measures that you must undertake before you are eligible to apply for a grant under the low carbon buildings programme. These measures will ensure that you are minimising your energy requirements and are as follows:

• You must have the minimum of 270 mm of loft insulation required to meet current building regulations where it is practical to do so.
• If you have cavity walls, you must have installed cavity wall insulation.
• You must be using low energy light bulbs in all the main light fittings in all the main rooms (i.e. the kitchen, hallway and all main living rooms) in the property.
• You must have installed basic controls for your heating system to include a room thermostat and a programmer or timer.
• Green Energy Doctor is able to supply and all the materials that are needed to meet these measures at highly competitive rates.
