What Landlords Need to Know About Energy Grants

As a landlord, ensuring your properties are energy-efficient isn’t just good for your tenants—it’s smart for your business. Government-backed schemes like ECO4, ECO Flex, Connected for Warmth, and Warm Home Local Grant offer funded energy upgrades that can improve comfort, cut bills, and boost property value.

At Warmify, we make it simple for landlords to access these grants.

Why Should Landlords Consider Energy Upgrades?

Boost property value – Energy-efficient homes are more attractive to buyers and renters.
Attract and retain tenants – A warmer, more comfortable property can mean happier tenants.
Futureproof properties – Meet energy standards and avoid potential fines as regulations tighten.
Reduce maintenance issues – Energy upgrades can prevent issues like damp and condensation.

What Upgrades Are Available?

Depending on your properties and tenants’ circumstances, you may be eligible for:

Loft insulation
Wall insulation (cavity or solid)
Air source heat pumps
High heat retention storage heaters
Solar panels
Smart heating controls
Boiler replacements

How Does the Funding Work?

First property fully funded – Landlords can access a grant covering 100% of the costs for one property.
50% funding for additional properties – Contributions are needed for further properties.
No rent increases allowed – Improvements under grant schemes cannot result in rent hikes.

Your tenants’ income or benefits status, the property’s EPC rating (D, E, F, or G), and location will influence eligibility.
