Home energy grants

Around a third of carbon emissions in the borough come from residential properties and energy costs can have a significant impact on household budgets.

Warm homes grant

The Warm Homes grant will be running until March 2028.

Warm Homes is a government-funded scheme designed to help households make their homes warmer, healthier, and cheaper to run.

This scheme is similar to the Energy Company Obligation (ECO4), which local councils (including RBWM) deliver in partnership with trusted installers.

Through Warm Homes, eligible households in RBWM can access free or heavily subsidised home improvements, such as:

  • Loft, cavity wall, underfloor or solid wall insulation.
  • Low-carbon heating systems (e.g. air source heat pumps).
  • Solar panels and renewable energy technologies.
  • Draught-proofing and energy-efficient windows or doors.
  • Smart heating controls and energy-saving measures.

Why apply now?

  • Reduce your energy bills long-term.
  • Make your home warmer and more comfortable.
  • Improve your family’s health and wellbeing.
  • Help reduce carbon emissions in RBWM.

Who can apply?

To be eligible, your home must:

  • Be privately owned (either by you or your landlord).
  • 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. If you earn more than that, you might still be eligible if someone in your household is getting certain benefits

If you are unsure about your EPC rating, you can check it here: Find an EPC – GOV.UK.
