About us

Warm Zones Limited, the parent company of London Warm Zone, is a not-for-profit company wholly owned by the charity National Energy Action.

London Warm Zone (LWZ) evolved from the Newham Warm Zone pilot scheme launch in 2001 and has been highly effective in helping householders improve the energy performance of their homes. The not-for-profit structure means that the LWZ approach is consistently based upon the best solution available, rather than maximising income at the expense of customer satisfaction.

The past year has seen an enormous growth in the spread of LWZ's operations and its turnover is now in excess of £5 million per annum. LWZ is now working with 18 London local authorities, delivering a comprehensive set of programmes to improve the decency and energy efficiency of people's homes. Alongside this, LWZ addresses fuel poverty by increasing household income through a highly successful income maximisation programme which to date has raised more than £1 million.

EDF Energy supports much of the work of LWZ with its Energy Efficiency Commitment (EEC) funding for vulnerable homes, and also finances the bulk of the organisation's core costs. LWZ also uses EDF Energy's substantial EEC funding to offer homeowners, regardless of their income, loft and cavity insulation at discounts of up to 75%. The work is installed by LWZ approved contractors. Click here for details of prices
