Each guide is checked against GOV.UK, Ofgem and the regulations, and shows the date it was checked. The main pages cover the core questions: who qualifies, how much you get, the £9,000 rate and how the grant is paid. If you want the rules applied to your own home, the grant checker does that in four questions.

Background
Which guide to read first
People usually arrive with one of three questions. "Can I get it?" is answered by the eligibility pages and the guide to which properties count. "How much will I actually pay?" is answered by the amounts page and the guide to the grant on your quote, which shows how the deduction should appear. "What happens now?" is answered by the consent email guide and the page on how the grant is paid. The background guides are for checking claims you have read elsewhere: whether the money is running out, whether a rule has changed, and what the official figures say.
How these guides are kept up to date
The grant changed four times in 2026, so each guide carries the date its rules were checked and links to the regulation, notice or Ofgem page behind every rule. When one of those sources moves, the guide is rechecked rather than patched, and its date changes with it. If you find a guide that disagrees with GOV.UK or Ofgem, the official page is right, and we would like to hear about it.
