With spiralling household energy costs and the price cap increasing, many households in our district will be struggling.

Support is available on our website with signposting to various support available and tips on how to conserve energy and heat at home.

Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA)

The Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA) requires local authorities to improve the energy efficiency of residential properties to help your home be as energy efficient as possible. Warwick District Council has partnered with Act on Energy which offers free advice and various grants for insulation and boilers and switching energy suppliers.

Energy Company Obligation (ECO 4)

We are currently exploring ECO4 delivery opportunities and will update this page with further information as soon as possible. We are not currently entering into discussions with installers or partners until a local pilot phase has been completed. 

Energy efficiency for historic buildings

Buildings from different periods have fundamental differences in how they have been designed to manage heat and moisture, and the skills and materials needed to maintain, repair, and responsibly adapt them. Solutions designed for the 80% of houses built after 1919 may not be appropriate for your home. They can be aesthetically damaging, environmentally ineffective or counter-productive, and in the worst cases cause harm to the health of the occupants.
