The new Housing Energy Efficiency Team want to let you know about the funded housing energy efficiency improvements currently available in Sheffield.
Whether it's simple energy advice or a fully funded installation of the latest heat pump technology, energy efficiency improvements help local people to stay warmer and safer over the winter. Living in a warm home is important for physical and mental health, as well as helping to combat mould and damp. An energy efficient home also helps to reduce energy bills. You can make referrals for people you work with or make an application for your own home.
To ensure all the information you need is in one place, The Housing Energy Efficiency Team have developed the Warm Homes Sheffield website and phone line (0800 107 8882) with delivery partners, Agility Eco.
Some of the schemes that can be accessed through Warm Homes Sheffield are:
LEAP: fully funded energy advice home visits, including advice about ventilation and free low-energy lightbulbs for people who meet broad income, age or health eligibility criteria. LEAP advisors can refer and signpost to energy efficiency schemes, emergency boiler replacements, debt advice services and more.
HUG 2: fully funded solar panels, insulation and heat pumps for homes without mains gas heating and a combined annual household income of less than £31k (or households in receipt of means-tested benefits or living in a low-income area). The scheme is for owner-occupiers and private rented properties only. It is free for owner-occupiers and tenants, but landlords need to pay a contribution.
Connected For Warmth: fully funded loft and cavity wall insulation for owner-occupier and private rented properties in council tax bands A-D and energy efficiency rating of EPC C-G. Landlords do not need to pay a contribution.
All schemes are currently open, but HUG 2 and Connected For Warmth are first-come-first-served and time limited.
You can find out more, make a referral or application on the Warm Homes Sheffield website or by calling 0800 107 888.
