Yes. Checking your eligibility and the in-home assessment cost nothing. You only pay if you choose to go ahead with an install — and then only the portion the grant doesn't cover.
The heating grant is for owner-occupiers whose home was built before 2008, who don't already have a fixed heater in the main living area, and who hold a Community Services Card or SuperGold Combo Card — or live in a lower-income area. Insulation support reaches a wider range of homes. The exact subsidy depends on your address, which the installer confirms.
If your main living area already has a working fixed heater, the heating grant won't apply — but you may still qualify for insulation support. The assessment will tell you for certain.
The grant is for homeowners only. But under the Healthy Homes Standards your landlord may be legally required to provide adequate heating. Leave your details and we'll point you and your landlord in the right direction.
