  • You (the homeowner) hold a Community Services Card or your home is located in a qualifying area within deprivation levels 5–10 (we can confirm this for you).

  • Your home does not currently have ceiling and underfloor insulation. (If you received an insulation grant for a previous property, you are still eligible to apply for your current home.)

What customers are saying about our subsidies service

Thank you for this insulation for our home. This has made a huge difference already to us. The men who installed this were friendly and professional and a big thank you to them both.

My family and I would like to thank your organisation for the recently installed insulation. Your team worked quickly and professionally, and the result is a marked improvement in the temperature.

Thank you so much. We had batts put in the ceiling this morning. Your team was great. We can already notice a difference in the warmth of our old house.
