Nest: Warm Homes

Nest is a Welsh Government scheme which provides free advice and home improvements to help you save energy and money. Since 2011, Nest has provided over 60,000 households across Wales with free home energy improvements.

Energy saving advice

Their advisors offer free impartial advice to help you lower your energy bills and improve your health and wellbeing. This includes:

  • finding the best energy and water tariff for your home 
  • benefits to boost your household income 
  • help to lower your carbon footprint
  • advice on installing your own low carbon technology

Support with home energy efficiency improvements

The Nest scheme also provides support with installing free home energy efficiency improvements, which could include a new heating system, solar panels or insulation. 

Residents may be eligible for free home energy improvements if you meet all three conditions:

  • you own or privately rent your home 
  • you receive a means tested benefit or live in a low-income household
  • your home has an energy performance certificate (EPC) rating of 54 E or less; or 68 (D) or less and someone in your household has an eligible health condition. 

If your home is without heating or hot water, the scheme can provide a boiler repair or replacement at no cost to you.
