Warm Deal
What is Warm Deal?
If you or your spouse are in receipt of certain income-related benefits, or are aged 60 or over, you may be eligible for a grant of up to £500 to have your home insulated under the Scottish Government's Warm Deal. If you are aged 60 or over and not in receipt of income-related benefits, you can get a smaller grant of up to £125.
The Home Energy Efficiency (Scheme) Scotland Regulations, effective from January 2007, also extended the Warm Deal programme to households with children with disabilities and receiving the Disability Living Allowance. These homes can have free insulation measures installed up to the value of £500.
The package includes:
- Cavity wall insulation
- Loft insulation
- Hot and cold tank and pipe insulation
- Draughtproofing (windows/doors etc)
- Advice on energy efficiency is given
