I don't know about England but in Scotland property owners can get a

Sounds like Warm Front
Nope.

The average working family doesn't qualify for any
grants,

wrong, see above. This covers Britain.

"(The criteria for loft insulation grants also apply to cavity wall
insulation. You need make only one enquiry.)
ALL home owner/occupiers and private tenants are now eligible for grant
funding of 50% - 100% towards the cost of loft insulation."

Grants for loft insulation, of around 50% and above, are available for all
home owners and private tenants - whatever your income - and of 100% if
you satisfy the eligibility criteria."


The savings made by improved insulation should offset the
increase in bills, in theory. No a very big or nice looking carrot
IMHO. Why bother with it if there is no nett saving?

Once the householder has recouped the initial outlay (if any), their
reductions in fuel bills (personal economic benefit) continue year on
year. So does the reduction in energy wastage and environmental damage,
a national benefit.
