Finance and grants
Home Energy West Yorkshire is here to help you invest in your home today so you can save money on your bills for years to come. You may be eligible for grants to help with upfront costs or a low-interest loan might be more suitable. We're here to talk you through the options.
Making it easier to invest in your home
Just like a new kitchen or bathroom, upgrading your heating or insulation can be expensive. Home Energy West Yorkshire is here to offer financial support to help reduce or spread the cost. Whether you own your home or rent, live alone or with family, we can help you find the right solution to meet your needs. There are options for all types of homes and circumstances, from simple insulation work to solar panels and heat pumps. Our advice is always free and impartial.
Why consider finance for home improvements?
Upgrading your home can sometimes feel out of reach. By spreading the cost, or accessing a grant if you’re eligible, you can get the benefits of a warmer home much sooner, and often save money in the long run.
