Help Oxfordshire residents stay warm and well this winter

With the recent cold snap, it’s more important than ever that people can keep their homes warm and energy costs manageable. We've been awarded additional government funding to help low-income households make their homes more energy efficient through the Warm Homes Local Grant.

Fully-funded energy efficiency measures | Welcome the Warmth

This scheme provides fully funded upgrades such as insulation, solar panels, and heat pumps for eligible homeowners and private tenants.

Oxfordshire residents could qualify if:
•  Their household income is under £36,000, OR
•  They receive means-tested benefits, AND
•  Their home has an EPC rating of D, E, F or G

Please note: Privately rented properties only qualify with an EPC of D or E rating unless landlords have the relevant exemptions in place.

Why retrofit?
These improvements will make homes warmer, reduce energy bills, and help households avoid the hardship of high heating costs. By retrofitting properties, we’re improving comfort and affordability while supporting Oxfordshire’s move toward a greener, low-carbon future.

Funding must be allocated before 1 April 2026. Early applications are essential so upgrades can be approved and delivered on time.
