Want to save money on your energy bills? Get up to £10,000 to make your home warm this Winter
The government is offering up to £10,000 to make your home warmer and more energy efficient.
The new Green Homes Grant goes live at the end of September, so make sure you’re ready to apply and secure your share.
If you qualify and are successful, you could get a voucher worth up to £10,000 to make improvements that will:
- save money on your bills
- make your home more comfortable
- help tackle climate change.

How does it work?
Homeowners and landlords can apply for up to two-thirds of the costs, receiving up to £5,000.
For example, if you’re not on a low income and you install insulation costing £4,000, you will only pay £1,320. The government would pay the remaining £2,680.
Not only could this save you hundreds of pounds per year on your energy bills, it will reduce your carbon footprint too and help in our efforts to combat the climate and ecological emergency.
(If your household is on a low income you can apply for 100 per cent of the cost of improvements, up to £10,000)
If you rent your home
Energy efficiency improvements to your rented home could save you money on your bills. Please get in touch with your landlord about this opportunity.

What’s included?
Energy improvements for your home can include:
- insulation for walls (solid or cavity), floors, and roofs
- low-carbon, sustainable heating including heat pumps and solar thermal.
Once you’ve used part of your voucher on these improvements, you can use any left over for upgrading single glazed windows, energy efficient doors, or hot water tank thermostats and heating controls.
How do I apply?
Demand will be high, so you need to act fast once the scheme goes live at the end of September. More details will become available then, but in the meantime, find out more about applying by visiting the Simple Energy Advice website or calling 0800 444 202.
Why does it matter?
More than 20 per cent of carbon emissions in Hammersmith & Fulham alone come from domestic heating. We can help stop this simply by making our homes better insulated and replacing gas boilers with sustainable alternatives.
