Cheshire East Council is inviting applications to its Green Homes Grant scheme.

The council has recently been awarded funding from the government in a bid to support Cheshire East residents to make energy efficiency improvements to their homes.

The Cheshire East Green Homes Grant scheme, which is supplementary to the government scheme of the same name, is open to both homeowners and residential landlords in the private or social rented sector and will cover:

• 100 per cent of the energy efficiency improvement costs, up to £10,000, for homeowners, and;
• Two thirds of the energy efficiency improvement costs, up to £5,000, for landlords.

The scheme offers support with a wide range of types of insulation, low carbon heat, windows and doors, and heating controls.

To qualify for help from Cheshire East's Green Homes Grant scheme you must:

• Be a homeowner or residential landlord;
• Have an Energy Performance Rating of Band D, E, F or G on your home, and;
• Be in a low income household (either in receipt of welfare benefits, or less than £30,000 gross household income)
