Get FREE home energy improvements with Warmer Homes programme

Fareham Borough Council is pleased to announce that it has been awarded funding from the Government’s Sustainable Warmth competition, to offer fully-funded energy-efficiency improvements for eligible homes as part of the ‘Warmer Homes’ programme.

Funding under the Warmer Homes programme is available until March 2023, for the following energy efficiency measures:

Improved insulation
Air Source Heat Pumps
Solar PV panels

If your home is connected to the gas network, funding of up to £10,000 is available. If your home is not on the gas network, funding of up to £25,000 is available.

You may qualify for the funding if you meet the following criteria:

Your home has an EPC rating of E, F or G (limited funding is also available for EPC D rated properties).

And either:

You have a total household annual income of £30,000 or less (before housing costs/bills)

Or:

You receive a means-tested benefit.

The Warmer Homes programme is available to owner occupiers and private rental tenants only. If you are a private rental tenant, your landlord will be required to make a financial contribution and give consent for the improvements. If you are a landlord, your tenant will be required to give consent for the improvements and you will be required to make a financial contribution.

Executive Member for Planning and Development Cllr Simon Martin said:

“Helping to reduce carbon emissions in Fareham, where we can, is a high priority for the Council and I am really pleased to be able to offer this funding to eligible homes. The improvements on offer have the potential to increase home energy-efficiency dramatically, while also reducing household bills. Our recent Climate Change Action Plan update acknowledged our leadership role in supporting change in Fareham and we are delighted that the Warmer Homes programme will directly help residents to reduce the wider Borough’s emissions.”

Funding from the Warmer Homes programme will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis and applications take no longer than 5 minutes.
