Funding for Energy Improvements in Wirral

The Warm Homes Local Grant focuses on upgrading homes that are expensive to heat or poorly insulated.

Instead of offering a single measure, the scheme provides a whole-house approach, meaning your property is assessed and upgraded based on what will deliver the biggest energy savings.

Available improvements in Wirral can include:

Insulation (loft, cavity wall, solid wall)
Renewable heating systems like air source heat pumps
Solar PV panels
Heating controls and ventilation systems

The goal is to create warmer, more efficient homes with lower running costs.

Eligibility for Wirral Residents

You could qualify for the Warm Homes Local Grant in Wirral if your home and household meet certain criteria.

Typical requirements include:

A property with a low EPC rating (D or below)
Ownership or private tenancy
A household income generally below £36,000
Or receipt of qualifying benefits

However, eligibility isn’t always based on income alone.

If your home falls within one of these eligible postcodes, you may still qualify for the scheme – even if you don’t receive benefits or meet the standard income threshold.

These areas are selected to target homes most at risk of fuel poverty or poor energy performance.

All recommended measures are designed to work together to maximise efficiency and reduce heat loss.

How the process works

You make your initial enquiry to improve the energy efficiency of your home via the GOV.UK website or the local Liverpool City Region Combined Authority.

We contact you to confirm your eligibility, and arrange a home assessment. We also note any access or support needs to help you through the process.

A Retrofit Assessor visits your home to carry out a survey (including photos and energy details). Based on this, a tailored improvement plan is created to meet standards and improve comfort and efficiency. You’ll be guided through recommendations, costs, and next steps before confirming how to proceed.

We confirm your installation date, explain the work, and help you prepare your home. Our team then completes the installation to agreed standards, keeping you informed throughout. We ensure safety, quality, and minimal disruption while supporting any specific needs.

We test all systems, walk you through how everything works, and answer your questions. Once complete, you receive a handover pack with warranties, certificates, instructions, and support contacts, along with added guidance and a small welcome gift.

We continue to support you after installation, with ongoing assistance, a 12-month warranty, and follow-ups to ensure everything is working well.
