Home Energy Scotland Grant

The Grant Explained

What Is the Home Energy Scotland Grant?

The Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan is a Scottish Government scheme that provides funding towards replacing a fossil fuel heating system with a heat pump. The grant is designed to make the switch to low-carbon heating more affordable for Scottish homeowners.

On top of the grant, eligible homeowners can also access an optional interest-free loan, which can further reduce the upfront cost of installation.

The grant is applied for through Home Energy Scotland. As an MCS-certified installer, we can advise you on eligibility and point you in the right direction to get started.
