Make your home more energy efficient with the Warm Homes: Local Grant

Are you concerned about the cost of rising energy bills, or struggling with your health in a cold home? Are you looking for ways to make your home cheaper to heat and more comfortable to live in? 

The good news is that Oxfordshire County Council has been awarded government funding to help residents on a low-income make their homes more energy efficient. 

The scheme is called Warm Homes: Local Grant and it’s designed to provide fully funded energy efficiency upgrades for homeowners and private tenants on a low household income and at risk of fuel poverty. 

These upgrades, known as ‘retrofitting’, could help to reduce your energy bills and make your home more comfortable to live in.
