Warm Homes: Local Grant
The big one. Up to £30,000 via your local council for insulation, solar, heat pumps and batteries. Income-tested. England only.
The Warm Homes Plan launched April 2026 with £13.2 billion to upgrade 5 million UK homes. Most homeowners qualify for £2,500–£30,000 in stackable grants — but the rules are confusing and most sites are written by installers. Our 9-question check is independent, four-nation, and updated monthly.

Why trust Warmworth? We're an independent guide — not an installer, not a price-comparison site. We point you to the official scheme, then (optionally) connect you with vetted MCS-certified installers if you want a quote. Information is updated weekly from gov.uk, Ofgem and the devolved administrations.
