Renewables pay you back
Renewable installations aren’t just about being greener. Done properly, they cut your monthly bills, add value to your home, and, thanks to government funding, often cost far less than most homeowners expect.
- Cut your bills: Solar panels can knock hundreds off your annual electricity bill. A well-sized heat pump can reduce heating costs by up to 50% compared to an old gas boiler. Insulation typically pays back within 5–7 years.
- Access up to £7,500 in grants: The Home Energy Scotland Grant, Warmer Homes Scotland and ECO4 all fund renewable upgrades for eligible households. We’ll check every scheme you might qualify for.
- Add value to your home: Renewables improve your EPC rating. Homes with higher EPC ratings sell faster and typically sell for more. It’s an upgrade you live in, then leave.
How we help you access government funding
Check your eligibility
A few quick questions to identify which grants and funding schemes you qualify for. Takes two minutes. No commitment.
Free home energy survey
One of our qualified surveyors visits your home and completes a full inspection at no cost. We'll tell you exactly what's possible, what's recommended, and what it would cost with and without grant funding.
Funding application support
We walk you through what documents you'll need and what to expect from the application process. For the final application, we direct you to Home Energy Scotland, which is the official free, impartial advice service. We're not FCA authorised, so we can't submit applications on your behalf, but we'll make sure you know exactly what to do.
Installation
Once your funding is approved, we install with minimal disruption. You have up to nine months from your funding offer to complete the work. We'll schedule the installation around your calendar.
