Built on UKEM’s Funding and Retrofit Expertise
For more than a decade, the ECO programme has required large energy suppliers to fund energy efficiency improvements for qualifying homes, creating a complex landscape of eligibility rules, paperwork and technical standards. UKEM’s core business is navigating that landscape – working with energy companies and partners to identify eligible households, secure funding approval and deliver compliant installations ranging from insulation to low-carbon heating. This experience means UKEM is not just an installer, but a specialist in unlocking grants and managing retrofit projects that must meet strict regulatory requirements.
LivWarm has been created as a homeowner-facing brand that sits on top of this capability. When a customer arrives at LivWarm looking for solar, a heat pump, a boiler upgrade or an EV charger, they are effectively tapping into UKEM’s funding knowledge, accreditation and delivery systems in the background. That foundation allows LivWarm to focus on advice, design and installation, while UKEM quietly handles the complexity of grants and schemes wherever possible.
Funding Options – With UKEM in Your Corner
Government-backed home energy grants and incentive schemes can, in some cases, cover a significant part of the cost of improving a home’s energy efficiency. Many LivWarm customers are happy to pay for upgrades themselves, but it helps to know there is a route to explore support where it might apply.
Through its relationship with UKEM, LivWarm has access to the same funding mechanisms used in large-scale retrofit programmes. Where it’s appropriate, LivWarm can work with UKEM to help customers understand which schemes could be relevant and how funded measures might sit alongside paid work in a single upgrade plan.
A Simple Journey, Backed by a Specialist Partner
For homeowners, the process stays simple. They contact LivWarm via livwarm.co.uk, share their goals and request a free, no-obligation quote. As part of that conversation, LivWarm can draw on UKEM’s experience to signpost possible funding routes where they may be suitable, while also offering clear, competitive paid options.
This gives customers more than just a price list: they get access to UKEM’s retrofit and grant know-how, delivered through a single, customer-friendly brand. LivWarm focuses on specifying and installing the right solution, while UKEM acts as the specialist partner in funded schemes – so funding is available to explore, without over-complicating the customer’s journey.
