Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan Scheme overview
The Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan Scheme provides homeowners in Scotland a grant, interest free loan or a combination of both to install clean heating systems and energy efficiency measures.
For clean heating systems such as heat pumps, grant funding of up to £7,500 is available, with an additional £7,500 of funding available as an optional interest free loan.
For energy efficiency measures such as insulation, grant funding is available up to 75% of the combined cost of measures up to a maximum grant amount of £7,500. The remainder of funding requested can be taken up as an optional interest-free loan up to the maximum funding limit per improvement.
An uplift of £1,500 is available for rural and island homes to both the clean heating and energy efficiency grants, meaning rural households can claim up to £18,000 in grant funding.
Who is eligible?
You can currently apply for the Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan Scheme if the property is an existing property located in Scotland and you are the homeowner – you own the home you live in and it is your only or primary private residence.
You do not need to be in receipt of benefits to qualify for the Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan Scheme.
