Free quote in one working day. [Get a Quote →](/quote) Burnley has one of the highest proportions of grant-eligible homes in the North West, driven by its pre-1919 solid-wall terraces and EPC ratings clustered in the D–F band. For many BB10 and BB11 households, the Warm Homes Plan can fund solar, battery storage and insulation outright. ## What the Warm Homes Plan offers in Burnley The Warm Homes Plan is the Government's 2026 home-energy funding programme, replacing and extending earlier schemes like ECO4. In Lancashire it is delivered locally through Cosy Homes in Lancashire (chil.uk.com), with funding routed to eligible owner-occupiers and private renters. - Fully funded solar panels for qualifying low-income households - Battery storage as part of a wider energy package - Insulation — loft, cavity and solid-wall — to lift EPC rating - Low-carbon heating, including heat pumps via the Boiler Upgrade Scheme ## Who qualifies in Burnley? Eligibility is assessed on EPC rating and household income or benefits. Burnley's housing stock means a large share of homes meet the EPC threshold automatically: Criterion Typical Burnley threshold EPC rating D, E, F or G (most pre-1919 terraces) Household income Around £36,000 or below (gross) Qualifying benefits Universal Credit, Pension Credit, ESA and others Tenure Owner-occupiers and some private renters (landlord consent) Burnley advantage Because Burnley's solid-wall terraces in Stoneyholme, Daneshouse, Gannow and Bank Hall commonly rate EPC D or below, a low EPC actually helps you qualify rather than counting against you. ## What's covered for a Burnley home The Plan funds a package of measures rather than a single product. A typical fully funded Burnley installation might combine solar panels, a battery and insulation upgrades worth £12,000+ at no cost to the household. See our [free solar panels under the Warm Homes Plan](/guides/warm-homes-plan-free-solar-panels) guide for the national picture. ### Check your Warm Homes Plan eligibility in Burnley Free, no-obligation eligibility check within 24 hours.
