Green Homes Grants

What is the Green Homes Grants scheme?

We have successfully received funding to help residents keep warmer and lower their fuel bills – for free.

Who is it for?

This scheme is open to private owner-occupied properties that don't currently heat their home using mains gas.

To be eligible for the funding, you need to.

  • Own and live in your home, or rent it privately to a tenant within Warwick District; and
  • Have a gross household income of less than £36,000 per year OR live in an eligible postcode area; and
  • Currently heat your home with alternative fuels other than gas such as oil, liquid petroleum gas (LPG), coal, solid fuels or electricity; and    
  • Live in a home that has an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating of D, E, F or G. If you don’t have an EPC, then E.ON will arrange this for you if we think that your property is energy inefficient
