Free Home Energy Upgrades through the Warm Homes: Local Grant (WH:LG)

The Warm Homes: Local Grant is delivered by Trusted Retrofit Partner, Aura Retrofit

With energy costs remaining high and many homes still expensive to heat, reducing household energy bills has never been more important. Poor insulation and outdated heating systems leave households exposed to rising prices — particularly in older properties.

However, there is good news. The Warm Homes: Local Grant is now available locally for many residents and may provide fully funded energy-saving home improvements at no cost to eligible households.

Aura Retrofit is proud to be working as a delivery partner for the Warm Homes: Local Grant, supporting local residents to improve comfort, lower energy bills, and reduce carbon emissions through high-quality, government-funded upgrades.

What is the Warm Homes: Local Grant?

The Warm Homes: Local Grant is a government-funded programme delivered through local authorities as part of the wider Warm Homes Plan. It supports energy efficiency improvements and clean heating upgrades in homes that are harder to heat and more expensive to run.

The scheme is designed to:

  • Improve the energy efficiency of existing homes
  • Support the installation of low-carbon heating technologies
  • Reduce energy bills and improve comfort
  • Target support at low-income households and homes with poor energy performance

Delivery is managed locally, with councils working alongside accredited retrofit partners to ensure upgrades are appropriate, safe and delivered to high standards.If you are eligible, you may receive a fully funded package of home improvements, installed by trained and accredited professionals, with no upfront cost.
