A High Street bank is offering homeowners a cash reward of up to £2,000 to make energy-efficient improvements to their properties. Barclays has announced the pilot of its Greener Home Reward, to help those who want to make energy-saving or environmentally-friendly changes to their home – but are being held back by the cost.
It will offer up to £2,000 to Barclays residential mortgage customers who register for the cash reward online, and then make and pay for a selected home energy efficiency-related improvement. Customers can choose to install any one of several home improvements, including an air-source heat pump, double- or triple-glazed windows, solar panels, or home insulation – as long as the improvement is completed by a TrustMark-registered business or tradesperson.
It comes after research found three-quarters of homeowners cannot afford to make energy-efficient home improvements.
