You could be eligible for No-Cost Home Energy Improvements with the Warm Homes: Local Grant (WH:LG).
With household energy bills still placing pressure on many families and older homes often costly to keep warm, improving energy efficiency has never been more essential. Inadequate insulation and ageing heating systems can make properties expensive to run — particularly in period or poorly performing homes.
If you live in Leigh Park, West Leigh, Portsmouth, Paulsgrove or nearby areas, support may be available. The Warm Homes: Local Grant is now operating locally and could provide fully funded energy-efficiency upgrades for qualifying households, with no charge to you.
HEART is proud to act as a trusted delivery partner for the Warm Homes: Local Grant, helping residents increase comfort, cut energy costs and lower carbon emissions through government-backed improvements.
What Is the Warm Homes: Local Grant?
The Warm Homes: Local Grant is a government-supported initiative delivered through local councils as part of the broader Warm Homes Plan. Its purpose is to improve the energy performance of homes that are harder and more expensive to heat.
The programme aims to:
- Enhance the energy efficiency of existing properties
- Support the adoption of low-carbon heating systems
- Reduce energy bills while improving indoor comfort
- Prioritise assistance for lower-income households and homes with poor energy ratings
Local authorities oversee delivery, working alongside accredited retrofit specialists to ensure all upgrades are suitable, compliant and completed to high standards.
If you meet the eligibility requirements, you could receive a package of fully funded improvements installed by qualified professionals — with no upfront payment required.
