Did you know that loft insulation can stop up to 25% of heat escaping through the roof? Or that around a third of all heat lost in uninsulated homes escapes through the walls?

These home improvements make a significant difference to the comfort, cost and energy efficiency of a home, yet many households are simply unable to afford the work.

Alongside our funders, Southampton City Council, Southampton Healthy Homes is bridging the gap by linking homeowners with funding streams, installers and support services that make these vital home improvements possible.

Why is it important?

We believe everyone has the right to live in a good quality, safe and warm home. Without our in-depth, specialist support, many residents would be accumulating energy debt, living in cold homes and feeling worried about the future.

Through Southampton Healthy Homes, we’re:

  • Improving living conditions
  • Reducing health risks
  • Improving energy finances
  • Educating households
  • Reducing carbon emissions

What clients can expect

We offer clients free, impartial and personalised support to help them feel empowered and positive about their living circumstances.

Through Southampton Healthy Homes, we:

  • Identify funding opportunities and submit applications
  • Provide tailored, in-depth advice and guidance
  • Offer joint calls with energy suppliers where required

The results

In 2024-25, we facilitated 123 large measure installations. Large measure installations include loft and wall insulation, heating systems, air source heat pumps and solar panels.

We also provided information, advice and guidance to 1,330 households, and achieved more than £1.43 million in gains and savings for clients.

Our friendly and knowledgeable team explores a wide range of opportunities for clients, and takes a holistic approach to every household.
