Helping you make your home warmer and more energy efficient
Changes to the Welsh Government Warm Homes scheme
The Welsh Government Warm Homes Nest scheme will come to an end at the end of March 2024, with a new scheme replacing it on Monday 1 April 2024. The new scheme will have a greater focus on low carbon technologies for the home where it makes sense to do so, to support Welsh Government’s ambition to make Wales net zero by 2050.
Under the new scheme, each home will be individually assessed, and the best energy efficient solution will be offered. This may be through insulation, low carbon heating and renewable technologies.
Nest will continue to provide advice to customers on saving energy and money and will remain open from Monday – Friday 9am – 6pm until the end of March 2024. Customers will also be able to express their interest in the new scheme through the Nest advice service and discuss other energy efficiency and low carbon grant schemes which are available.
To maximise delivery of applications in progress by the end of March 2024, we are not taking new applications except for eligible vulnerable customers with no heating or hot water at the property.
If you have no heating or hot water, please get in touch and we will advise you of the help available to you.
Advice for everyone
The Nest scheme offers a range of free, impartial advice and, if you are eligible, a package of free home energy efficiency improvements such as a new boiler, central heating, insulation, solar panels or a heat pump.
