Cosy Homes in Lancashire

Cosy Homes in Lancashire Lancashire's Local Council Affordable Warmth Scheme. Providing you with grants, services and advice, so you can have a greener, warmer home

25/08/2026

For over 12 years, a Preston resident lived without any heating or hot water, setting up a tent and sleeping bag in his living room every winter to keep himself and his dog warm.

After receiving a leaflet through his door, he visited the town hall to apply and was fitted with first-time central heating* through Cosy Homes in Lancashire.

Listen to episode 2 of the Warm Natters podcast to hear the full story and other examples of how we've helped Lancashire residents.

Seen or heard bad things about Air Source Heat Pumps?
We have too. But how much of it is true?🤔

At Cosy Homes, we want to sort fact from fiction, starting with these 4 heat pump myths.

❌They’re too noisy
✅Heat pumps mostly run in winter for heating and overnight for hot water. The noise is background noise, similar to the humming of a household fridge

❌They only work on new builds
✅They work no matter how old your home is. Just like a gas boiler, they'll heat any home when sized correctly based on the home's energy consumption

❌They don’t work in winter
✅Yes, they do. Heat pumps work even when the outside temperature is down to -15°C

❌My home needs insulating first
✅If you can insulate first, great. If not, it still works! Insulating first means your home needs less energy to keep it warm. You can still get a heat pump regardless.

Still not convinced? Visit https://www.chil.uk.com/customer-stories for real feedback from Lancashire residents who have had an Air Source Heat Pump installed for free, direct from their Local Council.
Or, head over to our YouTube channel to hear how residents feel about their homes following a heat pump installation.

Why was Cosy Homes in Lancashire created? 🏠

In 2013/14, a Public Health survey revealed how living in a cold home impacts the health of local residents.

To fix this, Lancashire’s local authorities came together to launch Cosy Homes in Lancashire, a single scheme created to bring in funding, advice, and support to keep Lancashire homes warmer and energy efficient.

Learn more about the scheme and how we can help your home in Episode 1 of the Warm Natters podcast.

Eileen’s old storage heaters were too expensive to run all the time. She was living in a cold flat that often felt damp too.

Upgrading to new, energy efficient, High Heat Retention Storage Heaters means she is now comfortable and cosy at home, without the worry of a hefty bill.

Eileen received the new heaters completely FREE through the local council’s affordable warmth scheme.

If your home sounds a little like Eileen’s flat used to, check to see if you qualify for new heating systems and more.
