Installing these measures begins as part of a ‘fabric first’ approach, prioritising the home insulation improvements such as Loft Insulation and Wall Insulation which make homes more energy efficient and able to retain heat for longer.

It depends on the availability of funding in your area and what works best with your home.

After the ‘fabric first’ stage, i.e. homes that are already insulated or have been recently improved, you may be considered for low carbon heating measures, like Solar PV Panels and Air Source Heat Pumps, reducing household carbon emissions and heating costs.

HUG2 aims to make homes across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire fit for the future with tailored energy-saving upgrades, varying in availability across the local authorities. Please note that only households who meet the scheme criteria will be eligible for a grant and the energy saving upgrades offered depend on availability.

If the funding is approved, you may need to have work carried out at your property prior to the energy saving measure being installed. These include, but are not limited to, the installation of ventilation, relocating services & extending the roof line of your home.
