- Households on a low or modest income
- Households receiving qualifying benefits
- Households with a person who is elderly, disabled or has a health condition made worse by cold homes
How councils decide
Local authorities apply national criteria alongside local discretion (often called LA Flex). This means a household that does not match standard benefit-based criteria can still qualify under local rules. Always check with your council.
How to check your eligibility
Use our free 60-second checker, then verify with your council’s official Warm Homes / energy grant page or an approved installer. You may need to provide proof of income, benefits or a recent EPC certificate.
