Warmer Homes

Warmer Homes offer fully funded central heating, low carbon heating and insulation measures to help keep your home warm and your bills low.

To qualify for support you need to have a household income that is below £30,000 per year and be living in a property with an EPC rating of E, F or G. This support is also open to tenants, but you would need permission from the property's owner to carry out any works, and the landlord would need to make a contribution.

Collective energy buying - Join our Community Energy Switch scheme

Please note: Energy Switching is on hold due to the volatile wholesale market prices

You could save money on your energy bills by joining a collective buying scheme like Adur & Worthing Big Community Switch, which is run by the Council in partnership with collective energy buyer, iChoosr.

As a member of the scheme representing a large group of residents you have more bargaining power as suppliers compete for the opportunity to offer you the lowest energy tariff.

iChooser negotiate with suppliers at auction, and the one that offers the cheapest tariff will then offer you a personalised quote so you can see how much money you could save.

Taking part is completely free, and there is no obligation for you to switch suppliers.
