Cosy Homes in Lancashire - your local council scheme

Cosy Homes is offering Government funded grants for heating, insulation and more.

What is Cosy Homes in Lancashire?

Cosy Homes in Lancashire is an Affordable Warmth initiative, set up by 13 Local Councils and fully supported by Lancashire County Council.

The partnership began over 15 years ago, following a Public Health study to look at the impacts on health living in a cold home has, and how Lancashire could maximise funding opportunities to help address the issue.

Following the study, Cosy Homes in Lancashire was formed, with Blackpool Council acting as the Lead Authority.

Since then, Cosy Homes has supported thousands of residents to have energy saving measures installed, making Lancashire homes greener and warmer.

What do Cosy Homes do?

It is our priority to help Lancashire residents feel safe, warm and well in their own homes, improve the energy efficiency of Lancashire properties and reduce carbon emissions.

We support residents with grants towards heating, solar PV and insulation, along with small measures and energy advice.

We pride ourselves on working with Lancashire based, local contractors. All our installers have the correct qualifications to carry out the work and all certificates and guarantees are provided on completion of an installation.

Not only do we ensure measures are installed to a high standard, we want to provide the best quality products too. That is why our preferred partner for Air Source Heat Pumps is Lancashire based manufacture, Global Energy Systems.

Global Energy Systems is a family owned renewable energy company, who design and manufacture Air Source Heat Pumps in Britain, made for British weather. Supported by over 50 years of international engineering experience, three generations have been involved in the company, each innovating and developing engineering excellence.
