Warmer Homes

Grants of between £5,000 and £25,000 are available to eligible low income homeowners and private tenants, with funding amounts depending on your existing energy efficiency rating, your tenure and your current fuel type (i.e. gas, electricity, oil or LPG).

Applicants need to provide information showing they are (or their tenant is) eligible and details about the property. If the application is successful, a survey will be needed to work out which improvements are most suitable.

Read our frequently asked questions to find out more.

There are several options available if applicants qualify for the programme:

• heat pumps
• insulation for walls, lofts and floors
• heating system improvements or repairs
• draughtproofing
• solar energy installations.

Read our terms and conditions to see the full list of improvements.

All surveys and installations are managed by RetrofitWorks. They provide a dedicated contact who helps explain what improvements are most suitable and ensure that work is carried out to a high standard.

To apply you need to:

• live in Greater London
• own or rent your own home, landlords can apply as long as the tenant is eligible
• Are in receipt of a means-tested benefit OR have a low household income (less than £20,000 a year after rent/mortgage and council tax deductions)
• Have a property EPC rating of D, E, F and G*

*EPC ratings can be determined at survey stage

Why should I apply?

• the improvements will make the property warmer
• living in a properly heated home can improve your health, particularly if you have a long-term health condition that is made worse by the cold
• lower energy bills and more efficient heating, which is better for the environment
• you won't have to pay anything towards the work (with the exception of a contribution from some private landlords receiving the Sustainable Warmth element).
