Apply for the Warm Homes: Local Grant to improve your home
We have partnered E.ON to install energy-efficient upgrades into homes for free, under the Warm Homes Local Grant scheme.
We aren't currently accepting applications as the scheme is oversubscribed.
Please check back regularly to see if applications have been reopened.
Eligibility
To be eligible:
- you must own your home or rent from a private landlord.
- your home must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of D, E, F or G. If you do not know your home’s EPC, you can find it out when you apply.
- Your household income must usually be £36,000 a year or less, OR:
- someone in your household is getting certain means tested benefits, OR:
- you live in a certain postcode area
and your household must meet one of the following three criteria:
What measures are available
If you’re eligible we will arrange a home survey and might suggest improvements like installing:
- wall, loft and underfloor insulation
- draught proofing
- air source heat pumps
- smart controls
- high retention storage heaters
- solar panels
The aim of the scheme is to boost the EPC rating of your home to at least a 'C' once the improvements have been installed.
If you have a landlord, they may need to pay for some of the improvements.
