The Warm Home Discount Scheme offers eligible households in Hammersmith and Fulham a £150 discount applied directly to their electricity bill. This government-backed support is designed to help lower-income and vulnerable households manage their energy costs during winter months.

If you're a homeowner or tenant in Hammersmith and Fulham and meet the eligibility criteria, you may qualify for this support. Opennest works alongside MCS-certified installers across the borough to help you understand what grants and support you're eligible for—and to connect you with trusted professionals for any green home improvements.

How it works

  1. Check your eligibility: You must receive certain benefits, have a low income, or be over pension credit age. The scheme typically applies to electricity customers of participating suppliers (most major suppliers take part). Visit gov.uk/the-warm-home-discount-scheme to confirm your supplier and circumstances.
  2. Apply before the deadline: Applications usually open in October each year. You can apply directly through your energy supplier's website or by contacting them. Some suppliers apply the discount automatically if they hold your benefit information, so check with yours first.
  3. Receive your discount: If approved, the £150 discount is applied to your electricity bill, typically between November and March. No upfront payments are required—the discount simply reduces what you owe.
