It also has a small budget to help residents with heating repairs and can provide portable heaters if a heating system breaks down.

My Home Made Better offers free, tailored and impartial advice to homeowners wanting support for specialist advice about retrofitting their home. They are ready to help you make your home warmer, greener and cheaper to run. From reducing heat loss (e.g. insultation), to switching to more energy efficient heating solutions to renewable energy generation (e.g. solar panels).

Home improvement grants

We offer discretionary home improvement grants of up to £5,000.

You can use these grants to replace inefficient or defective central heating systems and boilers. You will need to be on a means-tested benefit or low income to qualify for help.

Great British Insulation Scheme 

A scheme to help lower the cost of heating your home, by adding insultation for free or at a discount. Anyone can apply, as long as your home is: 

• In a lower council tax band (A to D) 
• Rated as with an energy performance certificate D to G 

For more information and to apply, please visit the Great British Insulation Scheme pages on GOV.UK. 

Greater South East Energy Hub

We are working with the Greater South East Energy Hub under the Green Homes Scheme to help residents to the energy efficiency of their homes through funding from The Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

Tackling climate change

Helping people to make their homes more energy efficient and reduce carbon emissions is important to us as part of our commitment to tackling climate change. We want to work with landlords, tenants and partners to identify households that are fuel poor, or whose homes are not energy efficient.
