Cosy Homes in Lancashire

Partnering for Change: Rhea Projects as the Proud Managing Agent for Cosy Homes in Lancashire (CHiL)

Rhea Projects Ltd is the officially procured managing agent for Cosy Homes in Lancashire (CHiL), the county-wide affordable warmth initiative established by all 14 Lancashire Local Authorities. Operating from our central hub, we serve as the vital link connecting local councils, energy funding streams, top-tier local installers, and most importantly, the residents who need our help the most.

Our mission is simple: 

To make Lancashire homes warmer, healthier, more energy-efficient, and cheaper to run.

Why Rhea Projects is the Trusted Choice for Lancashire

Managing a massive, county-wide scheme across 14 separate council regions requires exceptional organisation, strict compliance, and deep local expertise. Rhea Projects has proudly been the managing agent for CHiL since 2018, and our exceptional track record led to us being awarded this prestigious contract once again to continue our vital work.

Here is what makes the Rhea Projects team so uniquely successful:

• Over £20 Million in Funding Delivered: During our tenure, we have successfully secured and delivered more than £20 million in Local Authority Delivery (LAD) and Home Upgrade Grants (HUG) funding directly to fuel-poor and low-income Lancashire households.
• Seamless Local Authority Collaboration: We act as the single, reliable, centralised hub for all 14 Lancashire local councils including Blackpool, Blackburn with Darwen, Preston, Lancaster, and Burnley. We handle the bureaucratic heavy lifting so local authorities can rest easy knowing funding is being used efficiently and legally.
• End-to-End Excellence: We don't just sign off on paperwork. The dedicated team at Rhea Projects handles the entire homeowner journey. From initial application eligibility checks and dedicated home surveys (led by our expert personnel) to coordinating final retrofits with vetted Gas Safe engineers, we ensure elite execution at every step.
• Experts in Funding Compliance: Maximizing energy efficiency grants requires a deep understanding of complex legislation. We manage a diverse range of funding types, including the Warm Homes: Local Grant (WH:LG), Connected for Warmth, and the ECO4 Flexible Eligibility (LA Flex) framework, ensuring that up to 50% of energy obligations are targeted precisely to vulnerable households, private tenants, and landlords who qualify.

Whether a resident needs a free gas boiler replacement, cavity wall insulation, advanced solar panels, or a transition to low-carbon heating, we ensure it gets done right. We take immense pride in lowering carbon footprints, driving down energy bills, and protecting the health of thousands of local families.
Our continued contract renewals stand as the ultimate accolade of our reliability, professionalism, and passion for community care.
