What is the Home Upgrade Grant (HUG)?

The Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) is a UK government scheme designed to help households in England improve the energy efficiency of their homes. It offers funding for energy-saving measures such as insulation, solar panels, air-source heat pumps, and more. The grant aims to help low-income households and those living in energy-inefficient homes, particularly those with low Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings.

The scheme provides free or subsidised home upgrades, making it easier for homeowners to save on energy bills and make their homes more comfortable. It also supports the government’s target to reduce carbon emissions and improve the energy performance of homes nationwide.

Who Qualifies For The Home Upgrade Grant?

The Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) is specifically designed for low-income households and homeowners in England whose properties are off the gas grid.
