Funding For Windows
Gail Moorey from Hindhead, Surrey, was recently given grant funding for the installation of 3 double glazing windows and 2 UPVC doors.
In the video, she gives her feedback of Help to Buy windows and the experience she had with us.
Gail is the sole carer for her 14-year-old boy with a rare form of epilepsy; she was able to work up until about five years ago, until her childminder became poorly.
She mentions that being a homeowner, it’s tough to get help and afford home improvements.
She received a phone call from Help to Buy Windows about four months ago; she automatically assumed there would be a catch, but says, in this case, she was able to get new windows and doors installed entirely free of charge.
Help to Buy Windows Reviews
All she had to do was email through proof of her circumstances, and then she got another call to say she was eligible for funding for windows.
When the surveyor came to visit her, she was able to choose the style of door that she wanted, and the windows were exchanged for modern A-Rated ones.
She was advised to replace her older, inefficient wooden front door with a modern A-rated UPVC door, providing significant energy efficiency improvements throughout the home.
The bedroom is definitely a lot warmer after the window was replaced. The company that completed the installation was First Home Improvements.
Two installers turned up to install the windows and completed the job to a really high standard.
Gail would definitely give Help to Buy Windows a 5-star rating for the service she received.
H2B Windows is the only grant available to help homeowners replace windows and doors in the UK; we do not receive any help or Government funding.
The Help 2 Buy Windows scheme is funded entirely through the sale of double glazing appointments to H2B registered installers.
Upgrade Your Windows, Reduce Your Energy Bills
If your home still has single glazed or poorly performing windows, upgrading to an energy efficient window, such as double or triple glazed units can make a significant difference to comfort and energy saving. Homeowners may be eligible for grants for windows or a home upgrade grant on a case by case basis, and even access support like an interest free loan to help with the cost. These improvements not only help reduce energy bills but also contribute to a better energy performance certificate, making your home warmer, more efficient, and more cost‑effective to run. If you need to replace single glazing windows, check your eligibility for funding for free double glazing or triple glazed windows.
Schemes designed to support income households are increasingly important as energy costs rise. By improving a home’s energy efficiency, for example, through better-insulated windows that boost your EPC rating, families can enjoy significant savings on heating. Many areas now offer an Affordable Warmth Scheme or similar support, helping eligible households access funding for home energy improvements and ensuring their homes stay comfortable without straining household budgets.
Homeowners across the UK, including Northern Ireland, sometimes explore different support options like government grants, the Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan (which can include an interest free loan for energy-saving upgrades), or regional schemes like the Affordable Warmth Scheme to help with improvements such as better windows. While the Help to Buy Windows grant is separate and not affiliated with these programmes, it’s always worth looking at what support you might be able to apply for a grant with, especially if you’re planning improvements that could boost your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
