Who we help
If you own your home and live in Scotland, we can help. Plenty of Scottish homes still have old or single glazed windows that leak heat and push up the bills, and our job is to make upgrading them as affordable as possible. Fill in our quick check and we’ll show you the options you could be eligible for.
Help 2 Buy Windows is our own service, run by H2B Windows Ltd. It’s not a government scheme and isn’t connected to Home Energy Scotland.
Windows and doors we supply
Through our approved installers you can get double glazing, triple glazing, composite doors and bi-folding doors, all specced for energy-efficient Scottish homes.
Aim for A-rated windows as a minimum, with a U-value around 1.4. A U-value measures how much heat escapes through the window, so the lower the number, the better. The glass should be Low-E and argon gas filled, which can lift thermal efficiency by 16 to 30 per cent compared with older units.
Are there grants for windows and doors in Scotland?
Let’s be honest about this, because a lot of sites aren’t. There’s no Scottish Government grant for replacing windows or doors. What’s actually out there is a government loan, private finance, and a small pot of private hardship funding. Here’s how the options compare.
| Option | What it is | Funded by | Repay? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home Energy Scotland loan | Interest-free loan to upgrade single glazing (no grant for glazing) | Scottish Government | Yes |
| Private finance | Spread the cost of new windows and doors | Lenders via installers | Yes |
| Greener Homes Scotland scheme | Limited hardship support, full or part funded | H2B Windows Ltd (private) | No, if eligible |
| “Windows and doors grant” | A government grant for windows | Does not exist | N/A |
For the full detail on each route, including the Home Energy Scotland loan, see our guide to window and double glazing funding in Scotland.
How to fund your windows and doors
Most homeowners spread the cost with finance rather than paying upfront. A number of the Scotland-based installers we work with offer funding so you can get energy-efficient windows and doors without finding the full amount at once, often with no upfront cost.
Funding options come with qualifying criteria and may involve taking out a consumer credit agreement (Representative 9.9% APR). Greener Homes Scotland is not a lender and does not make credit decisions. We introduce you to approved installers, who match applications with lenders on their panel based on the information you provide. We don’t endorse any particular financial product. This website is free to use, though we may receive a fee or commission for introductions to installation partners.

While funding lasts, households that meet strict criteria may have their new windows and doors fully or partly funded. Funding is limited, so we help on a first-come, first-served basis, and the full details are confirmed when you get in touch.
