Grant & Funding FAQs
Can I combine multiple grants?
In some cases, yes. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can be used alongside the Home Energy Scotland loan for a complete system. However, you cannot use BUS and Warmer Homes Scotland together. We'll advise on the best combination for your circumstances.
How long does grant approval take?
Boiler Upgrade Scheme applications are typically approved within 2-3 weeks. Home Energy Scotland loan applications take 4-6 weeks. We'll keep you informed throughout the process and won't start work until funding is confirmed.
Do I need an EPC for grants?
Yes, most grants require a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for your property. If you don't have one or it's expired, we can arrange this for you as part of the process.
Are grants available for landlords?
Yes, landlords can access the Boiler Upgrade Scheme for heat pump installations. However, some schemes like Warmer Homes Scotland are primarily for homeowners and private tenants. Commercial landlords have different funding routes available.
What if my grant application is rejected?
Grant rejection is rare when applications are completed correctly. If it happens, we'll explain why and help you address any issues. In most cases, we can reapply once requirements are met. We also explore alternative funding options.
