Free Grants for Low Income Families

At Enegex, we believe that every family deserves a warm, safe, and energy-efficient home, regardless of income. That’s why we provide access to government-backed grants designed to support low-income households, single parents, and vulnerable families across the UK.

Through schemes like ECO4 and the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS), eligible households can benefit from free insulation, storage heaters, and other energy-saving measures that help cut energy bills and keep homes comfortable.

How ECO4 Supports Low-Income Families

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) is a government initiative that helps households reduce heating costs and improve energy efficiency. Energy suppliers are required to fund upgrades, meaning qualifying families can access:

Free electric storage heaters
Cavity wall and loft insulation
Room in roof insulation
Air source heat pumps
Solid wall insulation

For families living on low incomes or receiving certain income-related benefits, these grants cover the full cost of installation, removing the burden of upfront payments.

Other Support Available for Families

Even if you don’t receive benefits, you may still be able to access support through local councils, energy trusts, and charitable schemes. For example:
British Gas Energy Trust – helping families manage energy debt and avoid fuel poverty.
Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) – financial incentives to switch to greener heating systems.
GBIS (Great British Insulation Scheme) – providing insulation to improve efficiency and lower bills.
Discretionary Housing Payments – available through local councils to support with housing costs.
Charity and community support – such as Citizens Advice, Family Holiday Association, and food bank networks.
This means that whether you’re a single parent, caring for a disabled child, or simply struggling with rising energy costs, there are pathways to secure financial and practical help.

Why Heating Grants Matter

Heating grants for low-income families make a real difference. They:

Reduce the risk of fuel poverty
Ensure homes remain safe and warm
Help prevent cold-related illnesses
Lower monthly energy bills
Ease the financial strain on families with disabled or high-needs children

Enegex is here to make the process simple, stress-free, and accessible. Our team handles the application, assessment, and installation, so you can focus on your family, not your bills.
