The energy grant checklist – spot the genuine installers from the duds
Energy advice and grants
Energy grant schemes can help save energy and money for your home. Many of these schemes are free of charge to residents which meet the qualification criteria.
Where there are genuine energy grants, there are also, sadly, some scams. Rogue traders will take any opportunity to:
carry out poor work
leave jobs incomplete
ask for additional payments which were not agreed in writing before work started
Before you sign up to any grant scheme, use our energy grant checklist to ensure the company you’re dealing with is a genuine company and not a scam or a rogue trader.
