Grants for External Wall Insulation (EWI) are designed to help homeowners and tenants improve the energy efficiency of their properties by addressing one of the most significant areas of heat loss—external walls. These grants are part of government initiatives aimed at reducing energy consumption, lowering carbon emissions, and alleviating fuel poverty. External Wall Insulation involves adding a protective layer to the outside of a building, which can drastically enhance insulation and reduce heating costs. These grants are particularly beneficial for properties that are less energy-efficient, ensuring they meet modern standards and contribute to a greener environment.

• Income or Benefits-Based Requirements: Priority is often given to low-income households or those receiving government assistance.
• Property Type: Older homes, particularly those with solid walls lacking insulation, are key targets.
• Energy Efficiency Rating: Homes with a low EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating are more likely to qualify for higher funding levels.
