The Barclays Greener Home Reward is aiming to make the cost of sustainable home improvements more achievable for homeowners.Â
If you have a residential mortgage with Barclays, you can claim a reward of up to £2,000 to improve the energy efficiency of your home.Â
The home improvement works must be carried out by a TrustMark registered business, such as Cotswold Energy.Â
You can register for the Greener Home Reward if you:
Have a Barclays residential mortgage
Are improving the energy efficiency of the property listed on your mortgage
Choose energy-saving improvements from Barclays' list of eligible home upgrades (details below)
Haven’t previously claimed the reward (one claim per residential property, which must be your main home)
Pay your mortgage by Direct Debit - Barclays will pay the reward into the same account

The Barclays Greener Home Reward is a pilot scheme designed to incentivise homeowners to make climate-friendly home improvements.
A research study of 2000 homeowners carried out by Barclays found that energy usage is a top priority for many households.Â
Three-quarters (75%) of the homeowners they spoke to intend to make energy-efficient improvements to their homes. What’s more, the vast majority (90%) would like to make those improvements within five years.Â
Despite this, the research highlights cost as a prohibitive barrier to homeowners making sizable improvements to their homes and energy efficiency.Â
Barclays is trialling its ‘test-and-learn’ cash reward initiative to see if this results in a greater uptake of greener home improvements.
Thankfully, yes. More and more lenders are recognising the importance of sustainability and offering incentives to homeowners who invest in eco-friendly improvements.Â
Other high street lenders with green perks on offer include:Â
Nationwide
If you have a mortgage with Nationwide, you could be eligible for their ‘green’ borrowing initiative. This means you can borrow between £5,000 and £15,000, interest-free, on a two-year or five-year fix, to carry out sustainable home improvements.Â
Halifax
With a Halifax mortgage, you could be entitled to cashback for energy-efficient home improvements. This includes up to £1,000 for a heat pump installation and up to £500 for insulation upgrades.
Virgin MoneyÂ
Virgin offers £250 cashback for their existing mortgage holders who borrow additional money to carry out green home improvements. At least £2,500 must be spent to qualify for the cashback. Â
The best way to find out what you’re eligible for is to speak to your mortgage lender about green improvements for your home and see what they can do for you.Â
You generate your own energy: Heat pumps and solar panels harness the air, ground, and sun to power your home sustainably. This means freeing yourself from fossil fuels and lessening your reliance on the grid.
Your home is well insulated: Upgraded wall, loft, and cavity wall insulation can seriously improve your home’s energy efficiency. A comforting boost to your warmth and a welcome cut to your energy bills.
You have control over energy use: Many renewable energy solutions come with smart technologies that give you greater visibility, extra comfort, and more agency over your home’s energy consumption.
