Warm Home Surveys: what do you get?

Prequalification check

We have a conversation with you to establish the type of advice you need, if there are any grant schemes we can refer you to, or if you would benefit from a free home visit.

Home visit and tailored plan

We create a step-by-step plan for you, detailing energy-saving improvements suitable for your property, and the level of energy savings you could expect to achieve if you carried out the improvements.

Guidance and resources

We provide information on local and national grant schemes that you might qualify for, or advice about how to find a suitable installer should you be able to pay for the improvements.

How the Warm Home Surveys project is funded

We won £194,228 of funding following a successful bid to the Government’s Local Energy Advice Demonstrator Programme (LEAD).

We are one of nine successful applicants in the Midlands to be awarded funding to run an innovative home energy advice pilot project.

The funding is from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, working with the Midlands Net Zero Hub to deliver the programme in partnership with us.

The project will run until March 2025.

Our goal is to assist 1,000 households by offering in-person advice and for at least 600 of them to install the most suitable and effective upgrades for their homes.
