Mid Devon Council, in partnership with Devon County Council and other local authorities in Devon, is proud to deliver the Warm Homes Local Grant, a government-backed scheme designed to make homes across Devon warmer, greener, and more affordable to heat.

The scheme offers fully funded energy efficiency upgrades for eligible households, including measures such as cavity wall and loft insulation, double glazing, air source heat pumps, solar panels and insulated doors. These improvements not only reduce energy bills but also cut carbon emissions, supporting Devon’s commitment to a sustainable future.

To qualify, homes must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D or below, and must either receive certain benefits or meet the specified low income criteria.  Landlords can also apply, with one property fully funded and contributions required for additional homes.

Cllr Jane Lock, Cabinet Member for Housing, Assets and Property Services said: “For many people in our district winter brings added financial pressures, with worries about rising heating bills. But we do not want anyone in our community to be suffering from fuel poverty or inadequately heated or insulated homes, when they don’t need to be. Please reach out to us and we can point you in the right direction for help. This grant is one way some members of our community may benefit from that little bit of extra help.” 

Applications are opening in phases across Devon districts, and funding is limited, so early registration is encouraged. This initiative prioritises households most at risk of fuel poverty, ensuring that those who need help the most receive it.
