How we check eligibility
We compare your answers against publicly available criteria for major UK energy grant schemes and surface possible matches in plain English. We do not approve grants and we do not guarantee outcomes.
What we check
- Property type, tenure and country
- EPC rating (or unknown)
- Household income, benefits and vulnerability
- Heating type and improvements you are interested in
- Postcode and country-specific scheme rules
How we present results
We label each scheme as a Potential match, Worth checking or Few common matches, with reasons and the information that may still be needed. You always see the official source for the underlying scheme.
What we do not do
- We do not approve grant applications
- We do not promise eligibility or funding
- We do not represent any government department
- We do not share your answers with anyone unless you choose to request help
What you should still do
Confirm your eligibility with the relevant scheme provider, local authority or an approved installer. A property survey is usually required before any work is funded.
Frequently asked questions

Where does your information come from?
We summarise publicly available scheme rules, regulator guidance and local authority pages, then update content when rules change.
Is your checker official?
