What is the
Warmer Homes
Programme?

Portsmouth City Council, in partnership with 32 other local authority partners, has secured funding through the Warm Homes: Local Grant (WH:LG) scheme, administered by the Government’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), to offer funding to provide energy efficiency upgrades and low carbon heating to qualifying off-gas homes.

How it works

The programme is open to owner occupiers and private rental tenants only. Funding is not available to local authority or housing association tenants. If you are in a private rental property, then permission and a financial contribution from the landlord will be required and the landlord will be contacted about this following the application.

You can register your interest if you:

you have a total household income of £36k or less per year

you receive a means tested benefit

your home has an EPC rating of D, E, F or G

you are a homeowner or private tenant

If the above statements apply to you then please register your interest
