Many people could benefit from insulation grants, especially pensioners. They are more likely to live in energy inefficient homes, have fixed incomes, and struggle with utility bills. If you need free loft insulation as a pensioner, it’s worth learning about available grants.
At Apex Eco, we specialize in insulation grants for pensioners. Simply provide your address, name, email, and phone number in our 60-second form. Then our friendly team will contact you to discuss your options. For general guidance, continue reading. For personalized advice, reach out today.
We make it easy for pensioners to access grants for loft, cavity wall, and other types of insulation. Contact us to see if you qualify and get started on making your home more energy efficient.
If you decide to insulate your home, look into available grants that can cover all or most of the cost. The main insulation grants for pensioners are:
These schemes are time-limited, so apply soon before it’s too late!
Absolutely! In fact, grant applications from pensioners over 70 are often prioritized, meaning you’ll get higher priority than non-priority applicants. As long as you qualify for the grant (more on eligibility below), you can get an insulation grant. These grants cover many areas:
We know it can be tough for pensioners to decide if energy efficiency upgrades like insulation are right for you. To help, here are some pros and cons to consider before deciding:

The Great British Insulation Scheme starts in Summer 2023 through March 2026. It will provide £1 billion in funding to insulate over 300,000 homes in Great Britain that are energy inefficient.
If you struggle with high energy bills, have trouble heating your home or retaining warmth, or find your house uncomfortably cold, you may qualify for the grant.
The program specifically targets homes with poor energy efficiency ratings. If this sounds like your situation because of draftiness, lack of insulation, or other issues, continue reading to learn more about eligibility.
With this new insulation scheme, grants will be available to make energy upgrades more affordable for many homeowners, including pensioners. Determine if you meet the requirements to take advantage of this opportunity to improve comfort and reduce costs.
You qualify for the Great British Insulation Scheme IF:
OR
Bold benefits are key for pensioners. Check your EPC too. If you get any benefits or meet the top criteria, contact us for advice.
ECO4, or Energy Company Obligation, is another grant covering insulation costs for low income, inefficient homes. Many pensioners own these homes, so ECO4 is very relevant.
Grants cover up to £10,000 in insulation installation, decided case-by-case. First, check if you qualify:
To get ECO4 insulation grants you must:
Bold benefits are most relevant. Other benefits may also qualify you. Reach out if you get different benefits – you may still be eligible.
Don’t worry if you don’t qualify for ECO4 or the Great British Insulation Scheme – you may still get help through the LA Flex (Local Authority Flexible Eligibility) Scheme.
Like the other grants, LA Flex aims to aid vulnerable households and energy inefficient homes. But it gives local councils more flexibility in setting eligibility criteria for insulation grants.
If your annual household income is under £31,000 and your home’s energy rating is E or below, you may qualify for LA Flex even if you don’t meet the other schemes’ criteria.
Since each council sets their own eligibility, check to see if you qualify for a pensioner loft insulation grant through LA Flex in your area.
Even if you don’t meet one program’s criteria, don’t give up. With a patchwork of grants available, there are still options to make your home more energy efficient.
If you’re a pensioner thinking about home insulation, contact us today at Apex Eco – even if you’re unsure about grants. We’ll discuss your options and see if any grants apply.
To get started, simply fill out a quick form and we’ll be in touch ASAP. We make it easy for pensioners to access grants for loft, cavity wall and other insulation.
Don’t let the process intimidate you. We’re experts at matching pensioners with available insulation grants. And securing funding can make upgrades affordable so you can enjoy a warmer, more energy efficient home.
Yes, if one of the grants fully covers the cost, you could get loft insulation installed for free. Even if the grant doesn’t cover everything, it’s likely to pay for the majority of the cost up to the grant limit. Free loft insulation grants are common since loft insulation is a more affordable option, allowing more households to be helped with available funding.
You may pay nothing at all depending on the insulation type. Loft and roof insulation tend to be cheaper, so grants may cover the full cost. More expensive insulation like external walls may not be fully covered. Depending on your existing insulation, new insulation can save £300-£400 yearly on heating bills.
Each grant and eligibility varies, but contacting us at Apex Eco simplifies the process. We help you access available insulation grants, which are funded by energy companies under government-backed programs like the Energy Company Obligation Scheme. The grants don’t have to be repaid.
