Question
What support is the Welsh Government giving to homeowners to help them improve the energy efficiency of their homes?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government
Everyone in Wales can access free energy efficiency advice through our Nest helpline on 0808 808 2244 (Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm). Alternatively, homeowners can visit the Climate Action Wales website for helpful tips and advice.
Homeowners can access 0% interest finance to undertake energy efficiency works on their property through the Green Homes Wales scheme which is run in partnership with the Development Bank of Wales. This scheme provides funded access to retrofit co-ordinators to help homeowners understand the works required on their home and grant funding to encourage uptake of green choices.
Eligible low-income households can access support through our Warm Homes Nest scheme.
Homeowners can also access schemes run by the UK Government such as the Boiler Upgrade scheme, ECO4 and the Great British Insulation Scheme.
