Warm & Healthy Homes offered free Home Energy Visits to people who are vulnerable to living in a cold home, including those with a health condition affected by cold, over 65s and children under 5 years.

- Income maximisation and referral to support such as Warm Homes Discount
- Funding towards measures including insulation, heating repair or replacement, draught proofing, new central heating, heating controls, radiator panels
- Free LED lightbulbs, energy monitors and water saver packs.
