Staffordshire Warmer Homes is a scheme run by Staffordshire County Council, in partnership with district and borough councils. Our goal is to combat fuel poverty across the county and help residents to heat their home.
Since 2019, we have
installed over 450 new heating solutions into over
400 homes.
Over 91% of these homes have seen their home energy efficiency increase.
Improving houses energy efficiency has helped Staffordshire residents save over £650k in home heating bills.
New Scheme Opening Summer 2022
All of our schemes are currently closed to new applicants.
We are expecting to launch a new scheme in late Summer 2022. This scheme will focus on installing green heating solutions and insulating homes to make them more energy efficient.
The offer will be free of charge to Staffordshire residents that meet the eligibility criteria.
As part of the new scheme, we can install:
- Solar PV
- External Wall Insulation
- Loft insulation
- Cavity Wall insulation
- Air Source Heat Pumps – Hybrid and Full (hybrid means half on gas, to help convert people to ASHPs, full is for people without a gas supply)
Enter your details below if you want to be contacted by our partners in late Summer 2022 regarding the new project.
