Energy Support Schemes in 2024: What Help Can You Get With Your Bills?
With energy prices still putting pressure on household budgets, it’s worth knowing what help is available in 2024 to keep your home warm without breaking the bank. Here’s a quick guide to the current UK government schemes designed to ease the cost and improve energy efficiency:
💷
Warm Home Discount
This scheme offers a one-off £150 discount on your electricity bill if you’re on a low income or receive certain benefits. It’s applied automatically by your supplier if you qualify, no need to claim manually.
🏠
ECO4 Scheme
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) focuses on long-term improvements to your home’s energy efficiency. That means things like better insulation, new heating systems, and upgrades that can reduce your bills over time. It’s especially useful if your home has a low energy performance rating.
🧱
Great British Insulation Scheme
Launched to tackle poor insulation across the UK, this scheme offers funding for loft, cavity wall, and other insulation measures, helping you waste less heat and save money.
