Free Home Warm Homes: Local Grant (England)

Insulation Grant for Low-Income Households in England

Looking for ways to make your home warmer, more energy efficient and cheaper to run? The Warm Homes: Local Grant is a free home insulation grant available to low-income households in England. Backed by the UK Government and delivered through local authorities, this scheme provides 100% funding for energy-saving upgrades like loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, and even low-carbon heating systems such as air source heat pumps.

Whether you’re a homeowner or private tenant, if your property has a poor EPC rating (D to G) and you’re on a low income or certain benefits, you could be eligible to get free home improvements that help reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint.

What Is the Warm Homes Grant?

The Warm Homes: Local Grant is part of the government’s wider energy efficiency initiative, aimed at tackling fuel poverty and improving the UK’s housing stock. With energy prices still high and many homes losing heat due to poor insulation, this scheme focuses on supporting those who need it most. The grant provides fully funded insulation, heating system upgrades, and ventilation improvements, designed to cut your energy use and keep your home comfortable all year round.

This isn’t a loan or a discount, the improvements are funded in full by the government. You won’t have to pay anything back.

Who Can Apply?

This government insulation grant is open to a wide range of households, with specific eligibility criteria to ensure funding goes to those in need. You may qualify if:

• You are a homeowner or private tenant living in England

• Your household has a combined annual income under £31,000

• You receive certain means-tested benefits

• Your property has an EPC rating of D, E, F or G

If you’re not sure about your home’s EPC rating, we can help arrange a check to confirm your eligibility.

What’s Included in the Warm Homes Grant?

Depending on your property’s needs and eligibility, you could receive free energy efficiency upgrades such as:

• Loft insulation

• Cavity wall insulation

• Solid wall insulation (internal or external)

• Air source heat pumps

• Smart heating controls

• First-time central heating systems

• Ventilation and draught-proofing

These improvements don’t just help you save money, they can significantly improve your home’s warmth in winter, keep it cooler in summer, and reduce indoor damp and mould. You’ll also be boosting your home’s EPC rating and contributing to a greener planet by using less energy.
