Newcastle City Council has contracted Warmworks to deliver energy efficiency improvements to local homes under a project which is known as the Sustainable Warmth scheme.
The Sustainable Warmth scheme aims to help people in Newcastle who live in energy inefficient properties, and who may be struggling with high energy bills, with the goal of making their home more affordable to heat.
The project is part of a long-term partnership between Newcastle City Council and Warmworks, which is built upon Newcastle City Council’s ambitions for tackling fuel poverty and delivering on its plan to achieve net zero.
The Sustainable Warmth scheme is targeted at Newcastle City Council residents who:

Warmworks will work with a network of registered and accredited installers to deliver energy efficiency improvements to homes across the region, and these installers will all be local to the area where our work is delivered. The aim is to develop local skills; equipping people for the green jobs of the future as we work towards decarbonising our homes.
The Newcastle Sustainable Warmth scheme is only for properties with heating systems that do not run on gas. The application process is now open.

Formed in 2015, Warmworks is a joint venture partnership between three organisations with considerable experience and understanding of our industry and the customers we serve. These organisations are Energy Saving Trust, Everwarm and Changeworks. We are committed to providing affordable warmth to homes, families and communities across the country.
We deliver a range of contracts across the country, from the Orkney Islands to South East England, aimed at helping people to manage their energy costs by improving the energy efficiency of their home. We are also the Managing Agent of the Scottish Government’s national fuel poverty scheme, Warmer Homes Scotland. Since the scheme was launched in 2015, we have supported more than 35,000 people across Scotland to stay warm in their home, save against their energy bills and make their home more energy efficient. For information about all the contracts and projects we manage, visit the Our Work page of our website.
We are the Managing Agent for most of the projects we deliver. This means we oversee the installation of heating, energy efficiency and insulation work in our customers’ homes, from the initial survey where we’ll discuss the measures that could be installed, right through to a final inspection to make sure everything meets our rigorous safety and quality standards.
