Air Conditioning and Heating: Costs

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what support his Department is providing for residents struggling with heating and cooling housing costs.

Answer

As set out in the Warm Homes Plan, low-income consumers will benefit from over £5 billion of investment in home upgrades by 2030 to make houses warmer and more comfortable, reduce bills, and improve our energy security.

Over the course of this Parliament, we intend to introduce the most appropriate and cost-effective passive cooling measures into funding schemes focused on improving the homes of low-income consumers and social housing.
