Grants on offer for to make energy efficient home improvements
Grants22 May 2025
Households across North Northamptonshire are being encouraged to apply for government funding designed to help improve the energy efficiency of their properties.
The Warm Homes: Local Grant is a government-funded scheme delivered by North Northamptonshire Council.
It provides grants for energy performance and low carbon heating to low-income households living in the privately owned homes to help achieve energy bill savings and carbon savings.
Upgrades are open to all fuel types, including on gas households (those heated by mains gas) and off gas households (those heated by electricity, oil, coal or liquid petroleum gas).
Energy performance upgrades and low carbon heating improvements could include insulation, air source heat pumps or solar panels.
To be eligible, homes must be:
- Be privately owned (either by you or your landlord)
- Have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of D, E, F or G – if you do not know your home’s EPC, you can find out when you apply
Household income must usually be £36,000 a year or less. If you earn more than that, you might still be eligible if either:
- if you live in a certain postcode area
- someone in your household is getting certain benefits
This Government funded scheme has been designed to ensure that those on the lowest incomes can make changes to their homes and make them more energy efficient. Schemes like this not only benefit individual households but also help towards our collective commitment to reduce carbon emissions across North Northamptonshire.George Candler, North Northamptonshire Council’s Executive Director for Place and Economy
We would encourage anyone who thinks they might be eligible to look at the information online and apply before the deadline.
