Sustainable Warmth (Green Homes Grant) is a UK Government funded initiative, supporting local projects to make energy-saving improvements in people’s homes. It aims to help households manage fuel bills, make homes warmer and more comfortable, lower carbon emissions, and create green jobs.
Warmworks is the Managing Agent of Sustainable Warmth, working on behalf of the Greater South East Energy Hub to support local authorities across the region. Our job is to work closely with the Greater South East Energy Hub and individual local authorities to target people who might qualify for the scheme and then support them throughout the process of their application. Find out more about us here.
The improvements offered will be assessed following a survey of your property, carried out by one of our highly qualified Retrofit Assessors, at a convenient time. They will recommend a package of improvements that is suitable for your home and discuss the options available.
Potential improvements include:
Please note: Replacement/repair fossil fuel heating systems such as gas/oil/LPG boilers are not available through this scheme.
Owner occupiers, and private rented properties are eligible for the scheme. For people who live in a rented property, the landlord will need to give us permission to install energy-saving improvements.
Householders also need to meet certain eligibility criteria to qualify for funding:
If you do not meet the eligibility criteria above but struggle to heat your home and pay your fuel bills, please do get in touch with your local authority to discuss available options.
