How to use our Funding Finder

Why you should use the Funding Finder

Making improvements to your home such as installing a new heating system or improving insulation could increase your home’s energy efficiency and lower your energy bills. Our Funding Finder is a free online tool and is the best place to start if you’re looking to make home improvements but need help with the upfront costs. It provides information about all the different funding options available and how to find out if you are eligible to apply. Examples of funding may include the Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan, which helps people to install clean heating systems or make energy efficiency improvements. 

Using the Funding Finder

To start, simply go to the Funding Finder webpage and enter your postcode. If you’re a landlord, enter the postcode of your home address. If you’ve used our online tools before and have an account with us, enter your email address and password to see your results.

Once you’ve entered your postcode, you’ll see a list of all the funding options available in your area. Select one to read an overview and see a list of the energy-saving improvements it covers. If you’d like to learn more about a particular improvement, select it to read about what it is and its benefits. 

Once you’ve selected a funding option that is most suitable for you, you can find out if you’re eligible by contacting us. Some of the funding schemes even come with the option to find out if you’re eligible online by taking a self-assessment. 

What to do next 

If you’re not ready to contact us yet, you can save your results to look at later by creating an account. To do this, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select ‘register’ under ‘save your report for later’. You can also take a Home Energy Check to help you understand which home improvements you might benefit from.
