The Warm Homes Plan

About the Warm Homes Plan (WHP)

The Warm Homes Plan (WHP) is a UK Government funded initiative providing upgrades to help low-income households save money on energy bills and benefit from warmer, cleaner-to-heat homes.

How can we support your Warm Homes funded programmes?

We work closely with UK local authorities and social housing providers, enabling you to meet decarbonisation targets within your housing strategy. As experienced retrofit partners, we can help you access funding, plan, manage and successfully deliver government grant schemes including Warm Homes: Local Grant and Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund.

Together we can make lasting, sustainable impact

We provide a range of services to help you deliver fully compliant retrofit installations that bring long-term benefits to households and communities.

Retrofit project design and delivery for national & local housing initiatives
Experienced track record in retrofit technical design, quality assurance & compliance
Established inhouse and UK-wide network of trusted installers, assessors & surveyors
Local Energy Advice Partnership (LEAP) – our nationwide outreach service helping vulnerable households

Our strong, successful track record

We have extensive experience as a partner for energy efficiency retrofit projects. Since 2013 we’ve supported 5 energy companies and 86 local authorities across Great Britain with the delivery of funding schemes including the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) which preceded the WHP, Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) and Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF).

CASE STUDY: A productive partnership with Portsmouth local authorities

Since 2018 we’ve worked with the Warmer Homes consortium led by Portsmouth County Council, completing 15% of all GB installs under the Home Upgrade Grant –Wave 2 (HUG2) scheme.

Now we help them deliver HUG’s successor, the Warm Homes: Local Grant (WH:LG) scheme, installing low carbon heating and energy saving measures in low-income households across the area.

Strong longstanding relationships with 30+ local council partners
Over £70 million of funding accessed
5,564 vulnerable homes helped to date
£22 million awarded for WH:LG

AgilityEco have supported us to deliver several grant-funded domestic retrofit schemes over many years. Their experience, contacts and well-established installer network have been invaluable in the success we’ve had delivering these schemes.

CASE Study: Decarbonising Folkestone & Hythe’s Social Housing

Partnering with Folkestone & Hythe District Council through our inhouse installer Aran, we used data-led targeting to prioritise the least energy-efficient homes and those at greatest risk of fuel poverty. This meant we could progress quickly to install multiple measures, including:

Air source heat pumps (ASHPs)
Solar PV panels
External wall insulation
Ventilation upgrades

Throughout, we worked closely with our resident liaisons and supply chain partners, creating and sustaining employment opportunities for the local community.

A comprehensive and compliant retrofit package for over 200 properties – the results exceeded our expectations. The retrofitting process was seamless, with minimal disruption to residents, and we’ve already noticed a significant reduction in energy consumption and costs for our tenants.
