Find out about energy saving grants and discounts available from your council in East Sussex.
Cut Your Energy Bills
Your council is giving away solar water-heating systems, wall and loft insulation.
Save On Heating Costs
Around half of heat loss in a typical home is through the walls and loft.
Without adequate insulation, a typical home could be wasting £300 per year. With increasing fuel prices, can you afford to let this continue?
Grants for Free or Discounted Insulation
The council-managed and council approved East Sussex Energy Partnership can provide government-funded grants for home insulation to eligible home owners or private tenants – regardless of income.
The insulation could be free if you or anyone living in your privately owned or privately rented home is over 60, claiming working tax credits with children under 16, or is disabled or chronically ill.
The free or discounted insulation grants could save you hundreds of pounds per year:
-
loft insulation could save you £205
-
external wall insulation could save you £500
-
cavity wall insulation could save you £160
-
water tank and pipe insulation could save you £60
-
draft proofing could save you £30
Grants for Green Energy - Free Solar Panels
The East Sussex Energy Partnership scheme, led by Eastbourne Borough Council, can also provide grants for the installation of environmentally-friendly, renewable energy sources to provide heating – reducing the need for gas and electricity and drastically cutting your energy bills.
Solar panels are available free of charge to many households and significantly discounted for many others. A ground source and air source heat pump could save around £410 per year off your gas bill or £1,000 per year off your electricity bill.
