Halifax has launched an improved Green Living Reward cashback offer.
Home buyers, home movers and homeowners will be able to receive up to £2,000 cashback when making energy-saving improvements to their properties.
Green Living Reward is available to any mortgage customer with a Halifax current account, who is taking out new lending or a new deal, and wants to make their home greener, warmer, and cheaper to run over the next 12 months.
Customers can fund their home improvements through savings, government grants, additional borrowing, or a combination.
Once customers complete their mortgage application, they have 12 months to make a claim.
Halifax has launched a new Green Living Reward online service, which provides help on the process, provides deadline reminders, and allows them to make and track their claim.
While customers can choose any company to complete the work, Halifax has partnered with certain companies that customers can use, including Effective Home and Octopus Energy.
The energy efficiency improvements that can be claimed against are:
£2,000 cashback
- Air source heat pump
£1,000 cashback
- Solar panels (photovoltaic)
- Battery for solar storage
£500 cashback
- Biomass pellet boiler
- Solar thermal heating
- A-rated double/triple glazing (where replacing single glazing)
- Secondary glazing
- Cavity wall insulation (including party wall)
- Flat roof insulation
- Loft and pitched roof insulation
- Roof in roof insulation
- Smart air bricks
- Solid floor insulation
- Solid wall insulation
- Suspended wooden floor insulation
Halifax mortgage director Andrew Asaam says: “We are committed to helping our customers live in warmer, more energy efficient homes, on the journey to Net Zero. Improving the way older homes are heated, powered, and insulated is critical.”
“Green Living Reward offers an incentive to anyone that wants to make their home more energy efficient but is concerned about the cost. With cashback of up to £2,000 on heat pumps and other grants available, it’s actually feasible that replacing an outdated gas boiler could cost you nothing.”
