Energy efficient home improvement grants

There are a range of grants and support available that could help make your home more energy efficient and save you money.

GMCA home energy efficiency funding (ECO) grant

You could qualify for free measures to make your home more energy efficient and help save you money on your energy bills if:

  • Your home has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of Grade D or below. Check the EPC rating of your home at GOV.UK.
  • Your household has a gross annual income of less than £31,000.
  • A person living in your home has certain long-term health conditions (only certain health conditions are eligible and an NHS letter would be required).
  • A child living at your property receives free school meals.
  • A person living in your home has been referred to the local authority for support by their energy supplier or by Citizen's Advice.

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is running a funding programme on behalf of all local authorities in Greater Manchester, including Rochdale, called the ECO grant.

Rochdale Borough Council home energy efficiency funding grant

We're running an eco programme in targeted areas where properties are likely to benefit from energy efficient measures.

If your property falls within one of these target areas, you might receive a letter from our partners OVO Energy Solutions or Groundwork.

Home Upgrade Grant to improve a home with no gas boiler

We're working with Energyworks to deliver the Home Upgrade Grant.

The Home Upgrade Grant is to support residents whose properties:

  • Do not have a gas central heating system
  • Have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D or below

If you’re eligible, we'll arrange a home survey to see how your home could be made more energy efficient.
