Funding questions
Do I have to take the loan to get the grant?
No. The grant can be taken on its own, and the interest-free loan is optional.
Can work start before the funding is approved?
No. No work can start until you've received the funding offer in writing.
Does a hybrid heat pump qualify?
Not for the Home Energy Scotland grant. The heat pump has to provide all of the home's heating and hot water, so hybrid and air-to-air heat pumps aren't eligible.
I'm a landlord. Can I get funding?
The homeowner grant is for people living in their own home. Registered private landlords can apply to Home Energy Scotland for the Private Rented Sector Landlord Loan instead, which covers heat pumps.
Do I need to be on benefits?
Not for the Home Energy Scotland grant and loan. Warmer Homes Scotland is the scheme for households that meet its criteria, which include receiving certain benefits.
