Warm Homes Local Grant

Introduction:

The Warm Homes Local Grant is an initiative to help homeowners and landlords improve the energy efficiency of their property, for the long term.

You could get free energy saving improvements made to your home if you’re on a low income, getting certain benefits or living in a certain postcode area.

To be eligible for the grants, your property must meet the following criteria:

• Have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D, E, F, or G.
• Have a total GROSS household income of less than £36,000 per year.
• Have total household savings of less than £16,000 per year.

For rental properties, the income eligibility applies to the tenants of the property.

The scheme offers financial support to make this possible, making energy-saving upgrades possible for your property.

What You Can Get

If you are eligible and your local council has funding available, they will arrange a home survey to see how your home could be made more energy efficient. They might suggest improvements like installing:

• wall, loft and underfloor insulation
• air source heat pumps
• smart controls
• solar panels

Your local council will then organise and pay for any improvement work they’ve agreed with you. You will not need to pay for it.
