Eligibility

Warm Homes Local Grant

This scheme prioritises households who may be most affected by energy costs or living in less energy efficient homes (homes with an Energy Performance Certificate {EPC}rating of D to G).

It is available to owner-occupiers, private renters and landlords.

You may be eligible for support if:

Someone in your household receives certain income related benefits, such as Universal Credit, Pension Credit or Housing Benefit.

Your total combined household income is considered a ‘lower-income household’, usually a gross (before tax) annual household income of £36k or less including all benefits received

Your home is in a specific postcode area that automatically qualifies for this funding support under the scheme. Check if your postcode is automatically eligible here.

Your income is considered low after paying rent or mortgage costs each month, based on your total household size.

This funding scheme is administered by E.ON for Great Yarmouth and Norwich residents and Norfolk Warm Homes for all other Norfolk residents

Boiler Upgrade Scheme

Almost all households can benefit from a £7,500 reduction in the cost of a heat pump through the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). If you own the property and don’t already have a low-carbon heating system, you can apply for this. The heat pump must be installed by an MCS-accredited installer, who will confirm eligibility, claim the grant on your behalf, and deduct the money from your installation cost.

Council Specific Offers

In addition to the national government schemes some councils have local offers or grants. These range from advice for households and group-buying schemes to hardship funds for those struggling with bills.

View the next steps page to find out what energy support is offered by your local council.

Warm Homes Social Housing Fund

There is separate funding available for social housing which is administered by your housing provider. If you feel your home could benefit from energy improvements you should contact your landlord for more information.

What do I need to do next?

The guides on this site explain common home energy improvements, how they work, and what types of homes they may be suitable for. This can help you understand which measures might benefit your property.

If you think your household may be eligible for support, the organisations listed at the bottom rolling banner of this page can provide advice about local funding schemes and confirm whether you may be eligible.

If you need to fund works fully or partly through a loan you should discuss the works with the provider to understand if there are any restrictions or clauses that apply to the works. A green loan provider may have access to discounts and/or recommended installers.
