Green Homes Grants

We have successfully received funding to help residents keep warmer and lower their fuel bills – for free.

Who’s it for?

This scheme is open to private owner-occupied and privately rented properties.

To be eligible you’ll need to:

  • Own and live in your home, or privately rent within Warwick District; and
  • Have a gross household income of less than £31,000 year OR someone in your home receives a means tested benefit; and
  • Live in a home that has an EPC rating of D, E, F or G; if you don’t have an EPC then E.ON will arrange this for you if we think that your property is energy inefficient

What’s available?

If you are eligible for the scheme E.ON will arrange a time to visit and carry out a free home survey. It takes around an hour to complete and will help us recommend the best improvements for your home. The improvements provided to you will be dependent on your homes needs but could include any of the below products

  • Solar PV panels
  • Loft insulation
  • Cavity wall insulation
  • Smart heating controls
  • Air source heat pumps
  • External wall insulation

You can apply in the following ways:

Please note that if you are applying for a privately rented property, you'll need to have the support of your landlord to make this application. See our FAQs for further information.

How much funding is available for your home?

This will depend on what your home needs, but the total funding available will not exceed £10,000, and if you own your home there is no cost to you for the work, it’s free.  The actual amount of funding spent on a property depends on the improvements being received, as each will vary in cost.

About the fund

We have been successful in securing funding from The Sustainable Warmth Competition, which is a scheme run by the Department for Business Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) with the aim to help improve the energy efficiency of low-income households and improve the least energy-efficient properties for free.

This helps residents by improving the warmth and comfort of their homes, whilst reducing energy bills and carbon emissions.
