Rural properties face higher energy costs, especially those using oil or LPG. Installation costs are also higher due to transport and logistics. The government provides extra funding to ensure rural communities aren't disadvantaged.
Yes, listed buildings are eligible. We work with conservation officers to ensure improvements meet heritage requirements. Internal wall insulation and specialist solutions are available.
Typical savings are £800-1,500 per year when switching from oil to a heat pump. With current oil prices, some properties save over £2,000 annually.
Residential farmhouses are eligible for all grants. Farm buildings used partially for residential purposes may qualify. Agricultural buildings have separate grant schemes available.
