Warm Homes Local Grant
Three Rivers District Council has secured Warm Homes Local Grant funding with Watford Borough Council, from the Government’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ).
Who is involved?
Three Rivers District Council and Watford Borough Council are working alongside the National Energy Foundation (the managing agent) to deliver grants to eligible residents.
What is the grant for?
The Warm Homes Local Grant scheme aims to help the country achieve its net-zero carbon goal, while also helping households save money on their energy bills and live in healthy, comfortable homes.
This scheme offers eligible households fully funded energy efficiency improvements worth up to £30,000 per eligible home. Energy efficiency measures funded by the Grant may include: wall, loft and underfloor insulation, heating controls, draught-proofing, double or triple glazing, solar photovoltaic panels, and heat pumps, which will help your home use less energy and feel more comfortable.
