Our aim is to help you access a Government led grant called ECO Funding.  We can help you access a wide array of FREE heating and insulation grants to make your home warmer and cheaper to heat. There are many heating and insulation grants available totally FREE of charge if you are claiming any state benefits OR if you don’t claim any benefits at all due to a Local Authority Grant called ECO Flexible Eligibity.  Our mission is to help you access these grants with no fuss and to guide you through the process with ease; clearly explained and totally transparent. Look at our range of products and get in touch right now through the eligibility tab at the top the page or by phoning us on 01554 788766 option 1.

What is ECO Funding and Why Are These Grants FREE?!

This is a very good question. ECO Funding is a Government led scheme that stands for Energy Company Obligation. The Government have instructed the BIG 6 Energy companies like British Gas, EON, SSE, NPower, EDF and Scottish Power to reduce carbon emissions by funding home energy improvements such as internal wall insulation, first time heating with new radiators and boilers, loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, room in roof insulation, underfloor insulation, smart controls such as HIVE or NEST and highly efficient storage heaters to name a few.

How can Stellar Energy Help?

We are the agents or PAS2030 installers that are licensed to install such energy saving products to your home and are recognised by the scheme. We hold the necessary licenses and insurances to install these measures in your home to make it not only a warmer place to live but a cheaper place to heat!

Does everyone qualify for a grant? 

There are 2 ways to qualify, one is to claim certain Government benefits or credits. A full list is given below:

• Working tax or child tax credits
• Universal credits
• Child Benefit (anyone with a child living at the property – income thresholds do apply – please speak to a member of the team)
• Pension credits
• DLA – disability living allowance
• PIP – personal independant payment
• Income support
• Attendance allowance
• Severe disabilty allowance
• Carers allowance
• Employment and support allowance (income related)
• Job seekers allowance (income related)

The second way to qualify is by being in fuel poverty – this is by spending 10% approximately or more of your annual income on heating your home. You may be finding it difficult to heat your home and to makes ends meet – like a lot of us. If you live in a home that is expensive to heat and you have a low income then you are likely to pass for the scheme and the Local Authority Flexible Eligibility route. The LA flexible eligibility route is for people not on any Government benefits or credits but for those that have high heating costs and low incomes (all incomes are set differently by different Local Authorities). Again, this may sound too good to be true but please ring your Council and ask them about the scheme – they will tell you or transfer you to the right people and then come back to us. It is best to check with our team by phoning us on 01554 788766 and asking for some advice on these set figures. Here is a list of the Local Authorities that we can help you qualify with:

England – Wirral, Lichfield, Tewkesbury, Cheshire West, Bradford, Torbay, Cheshire East, Dorset, Shropshire, Forest of Dean, Chester, Chesterfield, Mendip, South Staffordshire, Stroud, Derby City, Eastbourne, North Somerset, Stafford Borough, Cotswolds, Stafford, Derbyshire Dales, East Sussex, South Somerset, Tamworth, South Glos, Solihull, Dudley, Hastings, Swindon, Portsmouth, Nottingham, Earewash, Lewes, Wiltshire, Gosport, Rushcliffe, Mid Devon, High Peak, Rother, South Hams, Bristol, Leeds, Wealden, Herefordshire, West Devon, Leicesterhsire, Amber Valley, North East Derbyshire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, North Devon, Bolsover, Cornwall, South Derbyshire.

How do I apply and what happens next?

Stage 1 – Fill in the ‘check if your eligible’ form on this website and we will call you back as soon as possible. You can also phone us on 01554 788766.

Stage 2 – We will clarify all the information you have given to qualify and then set a date to arrange a survey at your home completely FREE.

Stage 3 – The assessor will come to the property and take some photos of the house inside and out to show the funding stream what heating you have, how many bedrooms there are, whether the home is detached or semi etc. The assessor will send us the photographs.

Stage 4 – We will let you know if you have passed for the scheme ad then arrange an installation date for the heating or insulation or both.

It may sound to good to be true but you can check with the Local Authority that you are located in. So get in touch and see if you qualify! The funding is based upon the property and the survey carried out by the assessor.
