THOUSANDS of households could be eligible for free upgrades to make their homes more energy-efficient, but you’ll need to be quick if you want to apply.
The help is part of the Home Upgrade Grant Phase 2 (HUG2), a government grant that funds energy-saving upgrades for those impacted by the high cost of energy bills.
Making your home more energy efficient should reduce your energy bills.
You can get cash towards energy-efficiency improvements including:
To qualify for the help, a household must have a combined annual income of less than £36,000, receive certain income-related means-tested benefits such as Universal Credit, live in a Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) area, or only have electric heating.
HUG2 also has cost caps for energy efficiency and low carbon heat measures, based on the property’s characteristics.
The cost of insulation and clean heat installations varies by the property type and wall structure.
For cavity wall insulation, the cost cap on flats is typically around £3,000, mid-terrace houses £8,000, and end-of-terrace or semi-detached homes £12,000.
For solid wall insulation, this increases, with the cap on flats rising to £9,000, mid-terrace homes £15,000, and end-of-terrace or semi-detached properties up to £24,000.
In terms of clean heat installations, flats are estimated at £5,000, while mid-terrace, end-terrace, and semi-detached homes are capped at £14,000.
The quickest way to find out what type of walls you have is by checking your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC rating).
But don’t worry, you can work it out yourself if you do not have the certificate.
If your exterior brickwork has small holes that are evenly spaced along the mortar lines, your walls likely have cavity wall insulation.
If your external walls aren’t covered, you can also check the brick pattern to determine the type of wall.
Solid walls have a more varied brick style, using both full-length and half-length bricks.
If your external walls are covered, you can measure the distance between the inside and outside walls at a door or window.
A wall that’s more than 260 mm thick is likely a cavity wall, while a thinner wall is probably solid.
Overall, the combined cost cap for insulation and clean heat measures range from £3,000 to £38,000, depending on the property type and specifications.
The scheme targets specific locations where there are likely to be the most eligible residents.
Someone from your Local Authority can inform you which areas are being targeted, as well as how much you could get if you’re eligible.
You can find your local council’s contact information here.

You can look to see the amount of funding each council has received here.
The scheme ends nationally in March 2025, but local authorities are warning that people must apply before the end of September to ensure work is completed before the deadline.
HUG2 is also run on a first-come, first-served basis, so make sure you’re quick to sign up.
If you’re interested, you can apply here, or call delivery partners Agility Eco on 0800 107 8883.
You should also know that if the work you need exceeds the cap the grant will cover, you will be expected to make up the difference.
Councillor Rose Moore, cabinet member for a Greener Chelmsford, Chelmsford City Council, said: “The home-efficiency improvements available via HUG2 make it possible to heat homes for less, meaning residents can cut their carbon footprint and reduce their energy bills.
“Our Sustainable Warmth team has contacted those within the district’s Index of Multiple Deprivation area, but there are still many eligible Chelmsford residents who could miss out on these free energy-saving upgrades.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to upgrade your home’s heating systems, and I urge residents to check their eligibility and apply.”
Warm Home Discount
While you will have to wait for this scheme to reopen in October 2024, it will provide a one-off payment of £150 to help with winter energy costs.
Unfortunately, for those in Northern Ireland, this scheme will not be available.
Household Support Fund
Another consideration is the Household Support Fund, which is available from local councils to help households pay for energy bills and other essentials.
It is a one-off payment that does not affect debt solutions.
Energy supplier support
It is also worth noting that energy suppliers may be able to help with payment breaks, reductions, or more time to pay bills.
Winter Fuel Payments
Pensioners in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland may be eligible for Winter Fuel Payments of between £100 and £300 to help with heating bills.
Cold Weather Payments
With the cold weather already upon us, you’ll be able to get a payment if the average temperature in your area is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees Celsius or below over seven consecutive days.
This is available to people in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland who receive certain benefits.
Energy-saving improvements
There are also a number of programs available to help with home energy-saving improvements, including the Energy Company Obligation, the Great British Insulation Scheme, and the Home Upgrade Grant.
Citizens Advice
Citizens Advice can provide information on grants and support to help pay energy bills.
HAVING chosen to stay with her husband of 41 years rather than flee to safety on a lifeboat, Isa Straus lay in bed cuddled by her true love as icy water flooded their dorm aboard the doomed Titanic cruise liner.
It’s a tearjerking moment, forever immortalised in James Cameron’s 1997 film about the ‘unsinkable ship’ – but the tragic real-life tale may also have inspired another tragedy more than 100 years later.
Because Isa and Isidor Straus are the great-great-grandparents of Wendy Weil, the wife of Stockton Rush, OceanGate founder and pilot of the now-notorious Titan submersible, whose obsession with the Titanic led to the loss of five lives.
Last year, during a deep-sea voyage to the world’s most famous shipwreck the vessel imploded, killing Rush – reportedly worth £19.5million – and four others on board including a teenager.
Damning details about the disaster 3,500-metres below sea level, in the waters off Newfoundland, Canada, and particularly the vessel’s captain are currently coming to light in a public hearing.
It’s part of a two-week inquiry by the US Coast Guard that will hear testimony from 24 witnesses including up to 10 former OceanGate employees – many of whom lay the blame at Rush’s door.
Among the whistleblowers is David Lochridge, former operations director, who said the tragedy was “inevitable” due to safety procedures being largely ignored and the CEO’s “arrogance”.
Previously, he expressed concern that Rush “kills himself and others in the quest to boost his ego” and said the nearly £200,000-per-head Titanic expedition was “to make money… that’s it”.
Lochridge told the inquiry he feared a “catastrophic implosion” due to how the vessel was built, adding: “There was very little in the way of science.”
He’s not alone in making scathing claims. Former engineering director Tony Nissen said he was canned for raising concern about the Titanic trip and the submersible.
“I was [saying] no, you can’t … what we’re doing has never been done before,” Nissen said.
“We don’t know what ‘good’ is supposed to look like. But what I do know is it shouldn’t look like that… I wouldn’t sign off on it so I got terminated.”
Nissen described Rush as “difficult”, someone who “wouldn’t give an inch” in arguments and said it was “almost death by a thousand cuts in most things” for those who challenged him.
The hearings are painting a damning picture of father-of-two Rush, who was born into a wealthy family in San Francisco named after two signers of the Declaration of Independence, Richard Stockton and Benjamin Rush, both his ancestors.
He grew up with lofty ambitions, curious about the world and how things worked.
As a child, he took apart a stuffed bear as a child to study how it could talk and by 19, built a fibreglass plane from a 600-page manual in his mum’s garage that he continued to fly into adulthood.
Rush longed for adventure and was inspired by his fictional heroes Star Trek’s Captain Spock and later Star Wars’ Han Solo.
As a teen, the maths whizz dreamed of being an astronaut and after meeting Pete Conrad, commander of Apollo 12, was advised to get his pilot’s licence.
At 18, he became one of the youngest commercial pilots in the world but later was told his 20/25 eyesight wasn’t good enough for him to join the US fighter programme.
As Rush grew older, he worked as a venture capitalist and longed “to make enough money to buy my way into space” until he had an epiphany.
He recalled: “I wanted to be the first person on Mars and then I realized all the undiscovered species are here, in the ocean.
“In the vacuum of Space, by definition there is nothing. That means a great view but the final frontier for new life forms and discovery is undersea – for the next 200-300 years at least.”
It took one of the paying clients to turn around and shout at Stockton to give me the f***ing controller, she had tears in her eyes
David Lochridge, ex employee
Rush had been a scuba diver from the age of 12. Within two years of first trying it, he became fully certified but whenever he was deep beneath the waves, there was one pet peeve.
He longed to be able to stay on the ocean floor for longer than a full tank of oxygen would permit and without having to equalise.
“I wanted to sit in a submarine and watch crabs fighting to the sound of Mozart for two hours,” Rush said.
In the early 2000s, he looked into renting a submarine but discovered there were only 100 privately owned in the world and few were available for charter.
Unable to buy one despite multiple attempts. This would eventually contribute to his decision to build his own submersibles.
By 2009, he co-founded OceanGate believing underwater tourism could be incredibly profitable and help to fund the development of deep-diving vessels.
At the same time, Rush was growing frustrated with the submersibles industry – especially the ‘strict rules’ that had been put in place for people’s safety.
He once complained that concerns were “understandable but illogical” and forced businesses to be so “obscenely safe” that the industry “hasn’t innovated or grown because they have all these regulations”.
This included criticising the 1993 Passenger Vessel Safety Act, which regulates construction of subs, that he felt “needlessly prioritised passenger safety over commercial innovation”.
He went through unusual concepts for his submersibles – with design collaborator Bob Miyamoto, complaining “he wants to put wings on it and stuff”.
There were 25 designs including one that was ‘a handbag shape’ and ‘winged designs’ but they “got thrown out pretty quickly”, according to Rush.
One unlikely addition to his vessels was the decision to use video game controllers that former colleague Mr Lochridge told the hearing was to allow guests to pilot the sub.
Everything you need to know about the missing submarine, which vanished near the Titanic on June 18, 2023.
“Stockton’s vision was give somebody this PlayStation controller and within an hour they’re going to be a pilot – it’s not the way it works,” he said.
Rush’s vessels would be from a mixture of carbon fibre and titanium, which are used in ships and planes, but were feared too unsafe by experts for reaching depths.
While he dismissed this “great fear about using new materials”, Mr Lochridge insisted Rush had a “total disregard for safety” and “no experience building submersibles”.
Even Rush himself would boast about “bending the rules” when it came to submersible construction – including hauntingly while discussing Titan in 2021.
The CEO’s behaviour was also of concern, with Lochridge recalling how his employer would regularly “fly off the handle” including during a 2016 underwater trip.
On Titan’s predecessor Cyclops I, he took four paying guests to explore the sunken Andrea Doria cruiseliner, which sunk off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, in 1951.
Lochridge says the CEO insisted on piloting the vessel “to please himself” even though he wasn’t “the most experienced” team member on board.
After quizzing his decision, Rush allegedly yelled: “Just remember I’m the CEO, you’re just an employee.” Later, when things went wrong he would state: “Don’t tell me what to do”.
It followed Rush ignoring the instruction to stay a safe distance from the shipwreck and crashing Cyclops “full speed into the port side of the bow” before it “smashed straight down on the bottom”.
“It was unprofessional behaviour from him, he started to panic, it went on and on and on, there was debris everywhere,” Lochridge said.
“It took one of the paying clients to turn around and shout at Stockton to give me the f***ing controller, she had tears in her eyes.”
Lochridge claims his boss panicked, yelling “we’re stuck” three times before throwing the PlayStation controller used to pilot the ship right at him.
I don’t want to be seen as a Tattle tale but I’m so worried he kills himself and others in the quest to boost his ego
David Lochridge
“He clattered it off the right side of my head,” he recalled. Around 15 minutes later, Lochridge freed them of the wreck.
It’s part of a pattern of behaviour according to Lochridge, who was fired in 2018 after raising concerns about the safety of carbon fibre being used for Titan and Rush’s actions.
In emails obtained by the New Yorker, Lochridge wrote: “I don’t want to be seen as a tattle tale but I’m so worried he kills himself and others in the quest to boost his ego.
“I would consider myself pretty ballsy when it comes to doing things that are dangerous but that sub is an accident waiting to happen.
“There’s no way on earth you could have paid me to dive the thing.”
Rush earned a reputation for his trips, claiming to have taken Everest climbers, moviemakers and archaeologists – who ranged from 12 years old to 92 – on his expeditions.
When it came to visiting Titanic, which some insist was a money-making venture, he had a personal link – his wife’s relatives were the tragic Straus couple, who died aboard.
But for Rush, his motivation related to the Titanic appeared simple. He said: “There is only one thing underwater that billions of people know… and lots of people want to go there.”
He lured guests in with talk of the “deep sub disease” and insisted “shallow dives equal shallow experience”, touting adrenaline-filled trips that were like “paddling yourself through the Grand Canyon” rather than a “Disneyland ride”.
The CEO’s pal Karl Stanley claimed he was “designing a mousetrap for billionaires” and believed the vessel was dangerous adding: “I definitely knew it was going to end like this.”
The disaster would claim the lives of all aboard Titan including Rush and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, who led the expedition with him, alongside passengers British space tourist Hamish Harding, 58, billionaire businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son Sulaiman, 19, who paid £200,000 each to go on the tour.
“All good here” was one of the haunting final messages before the sub passed 2,305 metres. The deadly implosion occurred around 30 minutes later.
The people in there had no idea this was coming… nobody was suffering in there
Tym Catterson, ex employee
It was noted that during 12 dives to the Titanic between 2021 and 2022, the submersible suffered 118 equipment issues including batteries dying – leaving passengers trapped inside for 27 hours.
Lochridge was concerned the vessel’s carbon fibre frame would deteriorate the more dives it was used in and revealed Rush’s “arrogance” meant he refused to work with experts at the University of Washington to improve Titan’s safety.
On the day of the fatal expedition, Tym Catterson – a submersibles expert hired by OceanGate warned Titan wasn’t up to the job, but says Rush insisted: “I have several engineers working on this and they say otherwise.”
Catterson helped to launch the sub after concluding “we agree to disagree” and watched with horror from above as the disaster unfolded.
Five days later, Catterson was working among the search and recovery vessels when they discovered shattered pieces of the sub and human remains in such a bad state they had to be identified through their DNA.
He explained his one relief was that “the people in there had no idea this was coming” and wanted the public to know “nobody was suffering in there”.
Catterson said: “As a matter of fact, they were probably all happy. They were all waiting to see the Titanic.”

FIVE men plunged beneath the surface of the North Atlantic in a homemade sub in the hopes of exploring the Titnaic wreckage last year.
Four passengers paid £195,000 to go on the sub, with the fifth member of the trip being a crew.
But what was supposed to be a short trip spiralled into days of agony as the doomed Titan vanished without a trace on June 18, 2023.
The daring mission had been months in the making – and almost didn’t happen at the hands of harsh weather conditions in Newfoundland, Canada.
In a now chilling Facebook post, passenger Hamish Harding wrote: “Due to the worst winter in Newfoundland in 40 years, this mission is likely to be the first and only manned mission to the Titanic in 2023.
“A weather window has just opened up and we are going to attempt a dive tomorrow.”
It would be his final Facebook post.
The following morning, he and four others – led by Stockton Rush – began the 12,5000ft descent towards the bottom of the Atlantic.
But as it made its way down into the depths, the vessel lost all contact with its mother ship of the surface, the Polar Prince.
It sparked a frantic four day search for signs of life, with the hunt gripping the entire world.
There was hope that by some miracle, the crew was alive and desperately waiting to be saved.
But that sparked fears rescue teams were in a race against time as the sub only had a 96-hour oxygen supply when they set out, which would be quickly dwindling.
Then, when audio of banging sounds were detected under the water, it inspired hope that the victims were trapped and signalling to be rescued.
It heartbreakingly turned out that the banging noises were likely either ocean noises or from other search ships, the US Navy determined.
Countries around the world deployed their resources to aid the search, and within days the Odysseus remote-operated vehicle (ROV) was sent down to where the ghostly wreck of the Titanic sits.
The plan was for the ROV to hook onto the sub and bring it up 10,000ft, where it would meet another ROV before heading to the surface.
But any hopes of a phenomenal rescue were dashed when Odysseus came across a piece of debris from the sub around 1,600ft from the Titanic.
The rescue mission tragically then became a salvage task, and the heartbroken families of those on board were told the devastating news.
It was confirmed by the US Coast Guard that the sub has suffered a “catastrophic implosion”
MARTIN Fitzwater is one of the youngest stars in American bodybuilding.
He will be competing at Mr Olympia 2024, the bodybuilding contest that introduced Arnold Schwarzenegger to the world.
The star has come a long way from working in construction to the biggest stage in bodybuilding.
He will be one of the youngest ever competitors at Mr Olympia.
Martin has already proven himself to be a formidable opponent in the sport and eats nearly 9000 calories a day, in order to maintain his physique.
He is affectionately referred to as “the Martian”, a nickname that originated from the Looney Tunes character Marvin the Martian.
Martin said that people noticed the irony in the fact he wore a Marvin the Martian T-shirt.
The character Marvin is very small, which is a big contrast to Martin’s huge muscles.
The nickname stuck and Martin embraced it, even having an alien tattooed on his arm.
Martin is from Wyoming, which is a mountainous state in the USA’s western region.
He went on to attend the University of Wyoming, where he majored in kinesiology and health promotion.
However, he made the tough decision to move to Denver with his training partner Brett Wilkin.
Martin told Muscular Development that Denver wasn’t quite the adjustment for him that is is for most people.
He said: “Denver is about 5,200 feet above sea level, but my area of Wyoming was 7,200, a half-mile higher.
“When other schools came to play football, they had to have oxygen tanks and masks on the sidelines for them.”
Martin makes his living as a professional bodybuilder, having given up working in construction in 2020.
He still remembers the feeling of winning his first paycheck in his chosen sport.
He told Muscular Development: “I called my dad up excited to tell him I won my first paycheck as a pro bodybuilder.
“I still feel like that little kid who’s a fan of the sport and the stars, so getting that first callout with those guys didn’t even feel real to me.
“I love bodybuilding with everything I am, so it’s exciting that I get to live my dream every day.”
Martin will be competing at Mr Olympia 2024, which will be held in Las Vegas.
Mr Olympia is the title awarded to the winner of the men’s open division bodybuilding contest at the Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend.
There is a lot of excitement surrounding the young bodybuilder, who shared an update on Instagram ahead of the competition kicking off on October 10, 2024.
He posted: “I’m not counting the days, but I’m making the days count.”
Martin will be 24 years old when he competes at Mr Olympia 2024.
This means that, if he wins the title, he will miss out on the added bonus of being the youngest winner by just a year.
The youngest ever winner of the bodybuilding competition is the world famous actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who won the competition in 1973.
At the time, Arnold was just 23 years old.
Most of Martin’s competition at Mr Olympia are in their 30s, so getting to the competition is an achievement in-and-of-itself.
DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 5 in one easily digestible dose.
Alexander Isak is the third-most popular striker in Dream Team at the time of writing but the Newcastle forward is a doubt to face Fulham on Saturday.
Speaking to journalists on Friday, Eddie Howe said of the Sweden international: “He took a knock to his foot. We’ll find out more today & make a decision.”
With Callum Wilson still sidelined, it’s unclear who would lead the line for the Magpies if Isak is deemed unavailable.
Pep Guardiola admitted he doesn’t know whether Kevin De Bruyne will feature against Arsenal on Sunday.
Manchester City’s playmaker-in-chief was replaced at half-time against Inter on Wednesday night because of a groin niggle.
As for the Gunners, Declan Rice is available domestically having served his suspension but Martin Odegaard’s injury is worse than first thought and the Norwegian playmaker is expected to be out “for a while” according to Mikel Arteta.
Arne Slot revealed that Alisson is a doubt as Liverpool prepare to host Bournemouth.
The Brazilian goalkeeper, who is second among players in his position in terms of total Dream Team points right now, is said to be suffering from a tight hamstring.
The 31-year-old missed almost two months with a hamstring injury earlier in the year.
Elsewhere, Joao Pedro remains a doubt for Brighton following his unexpected absence in Gameweek 4.
On Thursday, Fabian Hurzeler told reporters: “He made a training session today and… we don’t want to [take] any risk for today. Let’s see how the next days will be.”
The Seagulls’ forward is currently the second-most transferred out player ahead of Saturday’s 11am deadline.
Ollie Watkins was seen icing his ankle after being substituted against Young Boys in midweek but Unai Emery has squashed concerns by labelling the striker “100 per cent” in his Friday press conference.
Aston Villa are set to host Wolves on Saturday before travelling to Wycombe for Carabao Cup duties on Tuesday night.
Crystal Palace will be without Cheick Doucoure for “several weeks” after the midfielder suffered an injury to a tendon in his foot during the Eagles’ 2-2 draw with Leicester.
Manchester United’s visit to Selhurst Park on Saturday will come too soon for Trevoh Chalobah but the Chelsea loanee is nearing a return.
Wilson Odobert has joined Tottenham’s injury list, one that still features Richarlison, but Yves Bissouma should make Ange Postecoglou’s matchday squad at the very least.
Spurs’ opponents this weekend, Brentford, will be without striker Yoane Wissa for approximately two months.
The DR Congo international started the season in good form and will be a sore miss for the Bees – Kevin Schade is expected to lead the line on Saturday.
