For council tenants
If you rent from Norwich City Council, you may qualify for free home improvements through:

This could include solar panels, insulation, or a heat pump. The council is contacting eligible tenants directly.
Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) and Great British Insulation Scheme
If your home is hard to heat, and you’re on a low income or benefits, you might qualify for free insulation and other upgrades.
Even if you don’t meet the usual criteria, you might still be eligible if you have a health condition that makes you sensitive to cold. The council works with FlexConnect to assess these cases.
