How a green home loan works

Green Home Loan Scotland arranges no-obligation surveys and quotes for paid installations of solar panels, battery storage and air source heat pumps. We do not fit the equipment ourselves — installation is carried out by our MCS-certified partner. Our role is to make the journey from first enquiry to clear, written quote as straightforward as possible for homeowners across Scotland.

Step 1 — Tell us about your home

You start by completing our short enquiry form or calling us on 0141 230 0198. We ask for your name, a UK phone number, your postcode and what you're interested in — solar panels, battery storage, an air source heat pump, or a combination. You can also tell us a little about your property, such as the type of roof or your current heating system. There is no cost to enquire and no obligation to proceed.

We'll usually respond during working hours to confirm your details and answer any initial questions you have. If you prefer, you can also reach us by WhatsApp or email at info@scottishenergyefficiency.co.uk.

Step 2 — No-obligation survey

If your enquiry looks suitable, we arrange a survey of your home. The survey is carried out to assess whether your property is suitable for your chosen upgrade. For solar panels, this includes looking at roof orientation, shading and available space. For an air source heat pump, it includes considering your current heating system, insulation and where a unit could be sited. For battery storage, the survey considers where a battery could be installed and how it would work with any existing or planned solar.

The survey is no-obligation. The aim is to give you accurate, property-specific information — not to pressure you into a decision.

Step 3 — A clear, written quote

After the survey you receive a written quote for a paid installation. The quote sets out what is included, the equipment proposed and the work to be carried out by our MCS-certified partner. Where finance is appropriate, interest-free credit options are explained clearly alongside the quote.

We do not publish prices on this website. Those details are provided in your quote because they depend on your home and your circumstances. We also do not quote savings figures, payback periods or statistics — we focus on what the installation involves and how interest-free credit can be arranged.

Step 4 — MCS-certified installation

If you decide to proceed and, where applicable, finance is arranged (subject to status), the installation is carried out by our MCS-certified partner. MCS certification is a recognised quality standard for renewable technologies. We install through MCS-certified partners, so you can be confident that the installation meets recognised industry standards.

What finance means in practice

Finance — where arranged — allows you to spread the cost of a paid installation over time rather than paying the full amount upfront. The exact terms depend on your circumstances and the installation quoted. Interest-free credit of up to £30,000 is available, subject to status and affordability. Terms and conditions apply.
