Warm Homes Hub

The Warm Homes Hub was a local authority backed scheme which aimed to improve the quality of heating and energy efficiency of Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County households. The scheme ended in February 2022.

The Hub offered free advice regarding energy efficiency, enabling residents to realise substantial bill savings and maximise income for their household.

They also helped with:

  • Benefit checks
  • Hardship grants
  • Water bill discounts
  • Fuel vouchers
  • Loft insulation
  • Boiler repairs/replacements
