What help you can get to improve the energy efficiency of your home.

Energy loans for owner occupiers and private landlords

To get this type of energy loan you must:

  • have enough equity in your property to cover the agreed loan
  • agree to pay back the outstanding balance if you move home

The maximum loan available is £20,000. There's a fixed interest rate of 4%.

Works under £7,500 require one estimate. Works above £7,500 will require two estimates.

Works to improve the energy efficiency of your home would normally compliment offers made by the Energy Service such as:

  • loft and cavity wall insulation
  • boiler replacements
  • underfloor insulation
  • first time central heating

For more information visit our partners, Lendology.

Grants 

There are a range of grants available to support the cost of energy efficiency improvements.

To see the full list of grants available, visit Retrofit West.

Grants for insulation and energy saving measures

We work with Bristol City Leap on the Bright Green Homes grant scheme.

Eligible households can receive free energy efficiency and cost-saving measures for their home.

The scheme is available to homeowners and those in private rented accommodation. Visit Bright Green Home to check you eligibility and apply.

Help and advice

Energy bills have risen dramatically so WECA (West of England Combined Authorities) have produced a leaflet Keep Warm This Winter, which will be delivered to Bristol residents in December.
