Warmer homes, lower bills – could yours be next?

Hundreds of Norwich City Council homes are set to become warmer, more comfortable and cheaper to run – and yours could be one of them. Through the Warm Homes Social Housing Fund, we’re investing in energy upgrades for some of the hardest-to heat council properties over the next three years. 

This will include more than 1,400 solar panel systems and 140 air source heat pumps. The improvements will make  homes more energy efficient, cut heating costs and help keep them comfortable all year round. Cllr Beth Jones, cabinet member for housing, said: “We’re focusing on homes that will benefit the most. These upgrades will make a real difference to tenants’ comfort and energy bills.” If your home is included, you’ll get a letter from the council and our delivery partner, E.ON. You’ll then receive a call to arrange a survey and book the work. 

The upgrades are fully funded, with no cost to tenants. Once complete, you could notice:

• Lower energy bills
• A warmer, more comfortable home
• Reduced carbon emissions from your property

This programme is part of our plan to help Norwich reach net zero by 2045. If you have any questions, please contact: climateaction@norwich.gov.uk
