The Warm Homes Loan Scheme

Spread the cost of a home energy upgrade.

The government supports participating lenders to offer more affordable borrowing for eligible home improvements. You borrow from a lender and repay the loan; this is separate from a government grant.

The scheme is designed for UK owner-occupiers and private landlords borrowing personally. Approval depends on the lender’s credit and affordability checks. Rates, repayment periods and product availability vary.

What could it cover?

Three ways to power a better home.

Eligible technologies include solar panels, battery storage and heat pumps. The chosen installation must meet scheme and lender requirements.

for an eligible heat pump installation

Heat pump support is still available

You can still claim a BUS grant.

In England and Wales, the standard grant for an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump is £7,500. Until 31 March 2027, it rises to £9,000 for properties replacing oil or LPG heating that have no mains gas connection.

Know where you stand

Loans, grants
and your next step.

Is every Warm Homes loan interest free?+

No universal interest rate is guaranteed. Check the lender’s APR, repayments, fees and total amount payable before agreeing to any product.

Is this the same as the Warm Homes Local Grant?+

No. The Local Grant offers eligible lower-income households in England home improvements through their local authority. It has separate income and property criteria and is not a repayable loan.

Can I apply for a loan through this form?+

This form sends your installation enquiry to GEC Power. We can discuss your project and prepare a quote. Applications for Warm Homes finance must follow a participating lender’s process, when its products are available.

Where should I start?+

Tell us what you would like to improve. We’ll discuss your property, explain suitable installation options and help you understand the next steps for a quote and any relevant grant checks.
