What is the Warm Home Local Grant?
The Warm Home Local Grant is part of the UK’s plan to improve energy efficiency and reduce fuel poverty. It’s delivered by local authorities and funded by the government.
The grant covers a wide range of energy-saving home improvements for households that need extra support with heating and energy costs.
All upgrades are fully funded—there are no costs to you if you’re eligible.
Who is eligible for the Warm Home Local Grant?
The grant is designed to support people who are most at risk of struggling with high energy bills. You may qualify if:

- You’re a homeowner or rent privately (with landlord permission)
- Your home has an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating of D, E, F or G
- Your total gross household income is under £36,000 or your income after housing costs is under £20,000
