Can I get free insulation or a heat pump in Hertfordshire?

Possibly, through the government's Warm Homes: Local Grant, which runs until March 2028. You need a privately owned or rented home in England with an EPC rating of D to G, and usually a household income of £36,000 or less. Your council arranges and pays for the work.

Evidence

You can check your eligibility and apply on GOV.UK; councils usually reply within 10 working days. Dacorum Borough Council has invited low-income residents to apply. The Great British Insulation Scheme closed on 31 March 2026.
