What is Warm Homes funding?

Warm Homes is government-backed funding routed through local authorities to deliver energy efficiency improvements to homes that need it most. Measures typically include insulation, heating upgrades, ventilation and basic property repairs that support energy efficiency.

Who may be eligible?

  • Homes with an EPC rating of D, E, F or G
  • 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
