Warm Homes Local is a government-backed scheme that provides grants of up to £15,000 to help eligible homeowners in England improve their home's energy efficiency. The scheme focuses on improvements like loft insulation, wall insulation, heating system upgrades, and ventilation work. It's delivered locally through councils, including Richmond Council.
Eligibility depends on household income and receipt of certain means-tested benefits. Richmond Council sets the specific criteria for the borough. Generally, homeowners with lower incomes or on benefits like Universal Credit, Pension Credit, or Housing Benefit may be eligible. Check with your local council or use our eligibility checker to find out if you qualify.
The Warm Homes Local scheme can provide up to £15,000 per household towards eligible energy efficiency improvements. The actual amount you receive depends on which improvements your home needs, the quotes from installers, and your council's funding availability. Your contribution (if any) will be confirmed during the application process.
Eligible improvements typically include loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, solid wall insulation, heating system replacements, heat pumps, hot water cylinder insulation, and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. Work must be carried out by an MCS-certified installer and meet quality standards. Your surveyor will recommend which improvements suit your home.
Start by checking if you're eligible with Richmond Council or through our checker.
