What is the Warm Homes Local Grant?

The Warm Homes Local Grant is a government-funded scheme delivered through local authorities to improve the energy efficiency of homes across England.

This programme is:

Fully funded

no contribution required for eligible households

Locally delivered

through councils and approved installers such as ECO4 Government Grant

Whole-house focused

tailored improvements, not just single measures

The scheme launched in 2025 and is part of a wider government strategy to improve housing standards and tackle fuel poverty.
