Warm Homes Local Grant (WH:LG)
The HUG2 program was renamed Warm Homes Local Grant in 2025 and began delivery in 2025.
The Warm Homes Local Grant aims to improve energy efficiency and low-carbon heating for low-income households across England.
The scheme offers grants for energy efficient home improvements such as:
- Cavity and external wall insulation
- Loft insulation
- Solar panels
- Air source heat pumps (ASHP's)
- High Heat Retention Storage Heaters (HHRSH's)
- Double glazing
The initiative is for low income households with a poor energy performance rating (EPC) rating of D to G. If you live in an eligible postcode and receiving means-tested benefits such as Universal Credit, Housing Benefit or Pension Credit, you may qualify for grant funding to improve your home's energy efficiency and lower your bills.
Owned and privately rented homes are eligible. Landlords will need to apply on tenant's behalf.
Thank you for your interest in the Warm Homes Local Grant.
Due to exceptionally high demand, our current allocation of funding has now been fully committed. We are still accepting applications, but any new submissions will be added to our waiting list.
Should additional or alternative funding become available, we will review waiting list applications in the order they were received. If you are eligible, we will contact you to discuss the next steps.
We appreciate that this may be disappointing and thank you for your patience and understanding. If you would like to be considered for future funding opportunities, we encourage you to use the postcode checker below to see if you meet the eligibility criteria.
