The Welsh Government has a programme called NEST which will provide improvements including heating/heating upgrades and solid wall insulation to people in receipt of an earnings related benefit living in a house that is ‘F’ or ‘G’ rated. (‘F’ and ‘G’ are properties using electricity or coal for heating, have no fixed heating or where their heating has broken down.) There needs to be someone under 26 or over 60 years of age living in the premises to qualify.
This grant is accessed by calling 0808 808 2244 and asking for a NEST assessment. They will ask a number of questions about the home, insulation, heating and earnings related benefits. If the enquirer is likely to qualify, a surveyor will visit the home to carry out a fuller survey and recommend appropriate measures.
