Grant support

Cheltenham Borough Council, along with the six other councils in Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire, are working in partnership with Seven Wye Energy Agency to run the Warm and Well project offering free energy advice to residents in the county.

Warm and Well administer energy efficiency grants on behalf of the council which can be used to make a range of home energy improvements. Subject to eligibility, grants are available for:

  • Heating
  • Insulation
  • Replacement windows/doors
  • Renewable energy options such as solar and air source heat pumps

If your household income is under £36,000 and you privately own or rent an inefficient property, you could qualify for support.

Warm and Well helpline: 0800 500 3076 (freephone) Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
