What happens next

If your application is successful, we will pass your details toour appointed contractor, who will  arrange a retrofit assessment of your property. The retrofit assessment will identify if your home is suitable for works such as: 

  • loft insulation
  • cavity wall insulation
  • external wall Insulation
  • air source heat pumps
  • solar panels

Once a retrofit assessment is carried out, there will be additional visits from the installers who will quote for the measures directly to the Nuneaton and Bedworth Council. We fund 100 per cent of the works for owner occupiers.

Some properties may be able to have multiple measures installed. Once works are installed we will carry out a further energy performance certificate at the property to measure the improvements for the fund provider.
