Warm Homes Local Grant

Warm Homes Local Grant will help reduce energy bills, keep homes warmer and reduce carbon emissions.

What is the Warm Homes Local Grant?

If you are a homeowner in Lincoln, you can now apply for funding to make energy efficiency improvements to your property, to help keep your home warm and reduce energy bills.

The Warm Homes Local Grant is available for properties both on and off gas.  

The funding can be used to help cover the cost of a wide range of retrofit measures, including roof and wall insulation, solar PV, and other low carbon heating solutions.

Are you eligible?

You can apply for funding if you meet all of the following criteria:

  • your residential property is situated in the City of Lincoln
  • be privately owned (either by you or your landlord)
  • have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of D, E, F or G – if you do not know your home’s EPC, you can find it out when you apply, or you can check on the  EPC Register webpage

Your household income must usually be £36,000 a year or less. If your household income is higher than this, you might still be eligible if either:

  • you live in a certain postcode area
  • someone in your household is in receipt of certain benefits

If you qualify for the Warm Homes Local Grant scheme, your property will undergo a survey to see which improvements would improve its warmth and efficiency the most.
