Apply for official HM Government Funding
The Warm Homes Local Grant helps households make their homes warmer, healthier and more energy efficient. It can fund a range of improvements, from insulation and heating upgrades to renewable technologies, helping you save energy and lower your bills.
Eligibility varies by local authority, but most applicants will need to show that their home is energy inefficient and that their household meets certain income or vulnerability criteria. Some areas also support residents who don’t receive benefits but meet local income thresholds.
At G4hi, we make it easy to check if you qualify. Our simple, step-by-step process starts on the home page: just enter your postcode and tell us a little about your property. Your secure Application Dashboard then guides you through the evidence you’ll need to provide, allowing you to upload it safely and securely. If you choose to apply for funding, a few additional questions help us confirm your eligibility and ensure the grant is the right fit for your home.
Throughout the process, we make everything clear — what the grant covers, which upgrades are suitable for your property, and what to expect at each stage. As a Trading Standards–approved service, we keep the process transparent and protect your interests, giving you confidence from start to finish.
Funding is based on two main factors:
Applicant Eligibility
- Income thresholds, benefit criteria, and more.
Property Eligibility
- EPC rating requirements and other qualifying factors (homes rated A, B, or C are not eligible).
You may qualify for the warm homes local grant if the following apply:
- You live in England (WHLG is an England-only scheme).
- Your home has an EPC rating of D, E, F or G (EPC A–C excluded).
- You meet one of the household eligibility routes: postcode deprivation band (low-income areas), receipt of a means-tested benefit, or household income below the published threshold (for example, £36,000 combined — local verification required). Self-declaration is not accepted; local authority checks will be used and evidence to support eligibility will be required.
Applicant Eligibility
Once registered, your application pathway and the evidence required to validate your eligibility will be outlined in your Application Dashboard. For further details, visit the Guidance section.
To access funding, your property must meet certain criteria. As part of the registration process, you’ll complete a Property Declaration to help us determine the right funding pathway for you.
For more details, visit our Property Eligibility Guidance or give us a call on 0345 061 88 88 for a no-obligation chat.
Energy Rating
Your property must have a lower Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating to qualify. Homes rated D, E, F, G, or those without an EPC, are eligible. Properties rated A, B, or C are not eligible through this platform.
Property Status
We’ll need to confirm ownership and check whether the property has received funding before. All properties must be owner-occupied or tenanted, and you’ll be asked for signatures and supporting documents to verify this.
Property Condition
The property must be in safe, accessible condition for assessment and installation work. We understand every situation is different—just be open with us, and we’ll do our best to work around any challenges.
Property Classification
Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas may require extra permissions from your local authority. These are the applicant’s responsibility and follow a separate application route.
