Warm Homes Local Grant
What is the Warm Homes Local Grant (WHLG)?
The Warm Homes Local Grant (WHLG) is a Government funded programme which provides energy efficiency upgrades and low-carbon heating via local authority funding, to households across England.
The aim is to raise the energy efficiency of hard-to-heat homes, delivering a package of fully funded energy-saving upgrades covering free home insulation and/or free low-carbon heating measures.
These measures make your home more comfortable and cheaper to heat, helping to lower your carbon emissions whilst reducing your heating bills in the long term.
