Common Questions
Is the grant really free? What’s the catch?
Yes, it really is free! The grants we access are part of Government-backed schemes like ECO4 and the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS). If your home qualifies, the cost of your energy-saving upgrades is fully covered, you don’t have to pay anything upfront or later. There are no hidden fees, and we will always be upfront if there are any options that fall outside of the free grant offer.
Who is funding these free energy-saving upgrades?
The funding comes from a combination of the UK Government and major energy suppliers. Through schemes like ECO4, energy companies are legally obligated to help households improve their energy efficiency, part of the UK’s wider plan to reach Net Zero by 2050.
How do I know if I’m eligible for a free grant?
Eligibility is based on a few simple checks, including your household income, whether you claim certain benefits, the energy efficiency of your home, and sometimes the type of heating you currently have. Our simple online form or a quick chat with our team can tell you if you qualify – no obligation!
What types of improvements are included in the free grants?
Typical upgrades include insulation (loft, cavity wall, underfloor, solid wall), heating improvements (such as new boilers or air source heat pumps), and sometimes renewable energy installations like solar panels, depending on your home’s needs and the specific grant scheme.
Why do I need to provide personal information? Is it safe?
We only ask for the information needed to check your eligibility and process your application. All your details are kept secure and handled in accordance with GDPR regulations. We never sell or share your information without your explicit consent.
Will I have to pay anything later?
No. If your home and circumstances match the grant criteria, the work is 100% funded. In rare cases where certain additional work is optional and not covered by the grant, we will clearly explain the choices to you first. You will never be pressured or caught out with surprise costs.
Who installs the measures? Are they qualified?
ll installations are carried out by accredited professionals who meet strict government quality standards (including PAS 2035 and TrustMark certification). We only partner with trusted, high-quality installers.
How long does the process take?
From checking your eligibility to completing the installation can typically take between 4–12 weeks, depending on your property and the type of measures being installed. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

One Energy is committed to clear, jargon-free advice and 100% transparency. We are passionate about making energy savings easy to access for every household.
