Improving your home’s energy performance is a smart investment that can lower running costs, increase comfort and reduce carbon emissions. The Home Energy Scotland (HES) Grant and Loan offers government-backed financial support to help homeowners make energy-saving improvements, install insulation and switch to cleaner heating systems, including an Air Source Heat Pump. With assistance available for a wide range of upgrades, this scheme makes it easier to create a warmer, more efficient and future-ready home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Funding is available on an ongoing basis but is subject to government budgets and programme availability. Applying sooner is always recommended, as grant levels and eligibility criteria can change over time.

Depending on your circumstances and the improvements being carried out, other funding options may be available. Our team can explain the current schemes and help you understand which options may apply to your property.

Timescales vary depending on the funding programme and your application, but starting with the correct advice and supporting documentation helps ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible.

If additional insulation is recommended before installing an Air Source Heat Pump, we'll explain why and help you prioritise the work. Improving insulation first often maximises system performance, improves comfort and delivers greater long-term energy savings.

If your EPC or Home Energy Scotland assessment recommends insulation or other energy-efficiency improvements, these may need to be completed first. This helps ensure your new heating system performs efficiently and delivers the best possible energy savings.
