Content

What is a Warm Homes Local Grant (WHLG)?

The Warm Homes Local Grant is a Government funded programme which provides energy efficiency upgrades and low-carbon heating via local authority funding, to households across England.

The aim is to raise the energy efficiency of hard-to-heat homes, delivering a package of fully funded energy-saving upgrades covering free home insulation and/or free low-carbon heating measures. 

These measures make your home more comfortable and cheaper to heat, helping to lower your carbon emissions whilst reducing your heating bills in the long term.

What energy-saving upgrades could I receive?

The energy-saving upgrades available (often referred to as ‘measures’) range from:

  • Loft Insulation,
  • Solid Wall Insulation,
  • External Wall Insulation,
  • Solar PV Panels, and
  • Air Source Heat Pumps.

Please be aware that the measures vary in availability and are subject to the technical assessment conducted on your property.

Am I Eligible?

You may be eligible if you:

  • Have an annual household income below £36,000 (gross) or are in receipt of certain benefits - note, gross income - this may differ based on your household income after housing costs, depending on the number of children in the property.
  • Have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) between D and G - note, for the private rented sector, that if your home is F or G rated, as part of the eligibility we will need to see your exemption letter for the rented property.
  • Or, living in one of the Government's eligible postcodes (if you are not sure if you fit the eligibility criteria then give Nottinghamshire Energy Partnership a call).
