Devon and Torbay energy grants 2026

Households in Devon, Torbay, Plymouth and surrounding areas have access to national energy grant schemes plus local authority referral routes. Here is what is currently available and how to check eligibility.

ECO4 in Devon

ECO4 is available across Devon through energy supplier programmes and local authority flexible eligibility (LA Flex). Devon County Council and Torbay Council participate in ECO4 LA Flex, which allows referrals for households that do not receive qualifying benefits but have low incomes or vulnerable circumstances.

Potential ECO4 measures for Devon properties include cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, solid wall insulation (for older rural properties), and in eligible cases, heat pump installations. The scheme ends 31 December 2026.

Boiler Upgrade Scheme in Devon

Devon has a high proportion of rural, off-gas-grid properties, making it particularly relevant for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Properties currently heated by oil or LPG boilers may be strong candidates for an air source heat pump, and the £7,500 BUS voucher applies throughout Devon and Torbay as part of England.

Warm Homes: Local Grant in Devon

Devon and Torbay authorities are part of the Warm Homes: Local Grant programme for England. Funding availability and the application process depend on local authority administration. The checker can help identify whether this route may currently be active for your area.
