Are there any grants for air conditioning in the UK?
My mother struggles badly in the heat and we are considering air conditioning for her bungalow. Is there any government help or grant available towards the cost?
Expert Trade Answers
"No air conditioning.
Boiler Upgrade Scheme (England & Wales): This now includes a £2,500 grant towards an air-to-air heat pump, which provides both heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. The grant is arranged through an MCS-certified installer, and there are eligibility rules—for example, it is intended as a replacement for an existing heating system rather than simply adding air conditioning. �
GOV.UK +1
Warm Homes: Local Grant: If your mother is on a low income, receives certain benefits, or lives in an eligible postcode area, she may qualify for free home energy improvements, which can include a heat pump if it's suitable for the property. �

Energy supplier support: Some energy suppliers have started offering help for vulnerable customers during heatwaves, such as free fans or other cooling measures, although this is separate from government grants."
