1. Once we receive your eligibility verification documents, we will check your eligibility and if successful, you will be assigned to an appropriate installer within 4 working days.
2. Your installer will then be in touch within 4 working days to arrange your technical survey and EPC (if required).
3. Following your survey, you will receive a 'Quote Pack' from your installer which will include a no-cost quote and details of the proposed work. The no-cost quote provides confirmation that the measure(s) are fully funded. If you live in a private rental property, the landlord will be provided with a quote which will detail the landlord contribution required.
4. The Warmer Homes team will assess the information provided by the installer within 4 working days of receiving this from your installer.
5. If approved, the installer will be in touch to arrange your installation date. Your installation date will depend on your installer's availability.
6. Once your measure(s) have been installed, your installer will provide you with a 'Handover Pack' which will include your warranty information and any other relevant paperwork. This should be provided to you within 10 working days following your installation.
7. The Warmer Homes team will be in touch following your installation to ensure you are happy with the service provided. This should occur within 15 working days through your preferred method of contact.
