The Warm Homes: Local Grant is a UK Government scheme launching on 1 April 2025 to help low-income households in England access fully funded energy efficiency upgrades and low-carbon heating installations through local authorities. 

To qualify, households must: 

• Be located in England 
• Have a gross annual household income of £36,000 or less 
• Be receiving means-tested benefits (e.g., Universal Credit, Housing Benefit) 
• Live in a deprived area (lowest income deciles) 
• Have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D to G 
• Own or rent privately (not social housing) 

The grant covers two main types of upgrades: 

• Energy efficiency improvements (up to £15,000): Insulation, draughtproofing, solar panels, battery storage, and glazing upgrades. 
• Low-carbon heating (up to £15,000): Air/ground source heat pumps and other energy-efficient heating systems. 

Yes! Private landlords can apply under these conditions: 

• Full funding for the first property 
• 50% funding for additional properties (up to a £315,000 cap) 
• Properties must have an EPC rating of D to G 

We handle everything for you, free of charge: 

• Check eligibility and secure funding from your local council 
• Manage all paperwork and applications 
• Coordinate installations through certified installers 

No—if your home qualifies, all approved upgrades are fully funded with no cost to homeowners or tenants.

Once the scheme launches, eligible applicants can expect a straightforward process, with upgrades typically installed within a few months, depending on demand and council approvals. 

The grant does not cover: 

• Social housing (except for limited cases) 
• New build/self-build homes 
• Homes with an EPC rating of A to C 

Funding is limited, and demand will be high. By reserving your spot early, you increase your chances of securing free home upgrades as soon as the scheme opens.
