What funding is available?
The Warm Homes: Local Grant (WHLG) is a government-funded scheme delivered by Local Authorities.
WHLG provides grants for energy performance upgrades and low carbon heating to low-income households living in the worst quality, privately owned homes in England to achieve energy bill savings and carbon savings.
Eligible households could receive free energy efficiency improvements (such as insulation) or clean heating (such as air source heat pumps) for their homes, following a home assessment.
Who is eligible?
You could be eligible if:
- Your home has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of D, E, F or G *
and
- You have a combined annual household income under £36,000 (gross)
or
- You receive a means-tested benefit and/or are vulnerable to the cold
If you are unsure whether you qualify, please call Act on Energy to talk through your situation.
* Find out more about EPCs and whether your property has a valid certificate on the GOV.UK website. If you are eligible for the grant but don't have an existing EPC, this can be arranged for you at no cost.
