Leeds City Council Warm Homes: Local Grant
WORKING TOGETHER
Leeds City Council has appointed Sustainable Building Services and Groundwork Yorkshire to deliver free energy efficiency improvements, such as insulation and solar panels, to homeowners and private households that meet eligibility requirements.
If your household is privately owned (by you or by a private landlord), and you live in either a qualifying postcode, have a low household income, or one of the occupants receive a means-tested benefits, your property may be eligible for this fully-funded scheme.
In addition, your property also needs to have an energy rating (EPC Band) of D, E F or G - to support this, we will check any active EPC and undertake further technical reviews to determine EPC eligibility and its validity.

Energy Efficiency, Renewable and Clean Heating Home Improvements
INSULATION AND FABRIC IMPROVEMENTS
Insulating your walls and loft prevents heat from escaping out of your home, which means you’ll need less energy to heat your property and so reduce your energy use and costs.
No matter how your walls are built, or if you currently have loft insulation, we can check and advise to see if they can be improved with measures such as Cavity Wall Insulation, External Wall Insulation and/or Loft Insulation.
Insulation upgrades are some of the most benefical improvements that can be made on a property. For further details on these energy efficiency measures, please click below.
All measures are subject to property suitability, household eligibility and scheme criteria. Any improvements offered need to meet scheme budgets.
RENEWABLE AND CLEAN HEATING ENERGY IMPROVEMENTS
Solar Panels are a great way of lowering your energy bills though the generation of your own energy, reducing the amount of energy your homes needs from the grid. Where you have a surplus of energy, you may be able to also sell this back to the grid too, further lowering your bills.
Incorporating Battery Storage, when installed with Solar Panels, will also allow you to store excess energy generated during the day to use at other times, such as overnight.
We can also check your property's suitability for replacement (non-gas) heating systems, such as Air Source Heat Pumps and High Heat Retention Storage Heaters, click below to find out more about these measures.
All measures are subject to property suitability, household eligibility and scheme criteria. Any improvements offered need to meet scheme budgets. If you do not currently have central heating, we can check your property for suitability for (non-gas) heating systems.
