Homeowners can get up to £2000 off heat pumps and home improvements with a Halifax mortgage

Households with a Halifax mortgage can get a £2000 rebate towards a heat pump or £1000 towards other green home improvements.

The bank has just launched a program called Green Living Reward to encourage homeowners to make their homes more energy efficient.

It is available to any mortgage customer with a Halifax current account who takes out a new loan or agreement and wants to make their home greener, warmer and cheaper to run over the next 12 months.

The Halifax Rebate is paid out once the home improvement work is complete and customers can finance their renovations in a way that suits them best.

For those interested in heat pumps, the biggest discount is the Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), which provides grants of up to £7,500.

The average BUS grant is £5,819 per household, and the typical heat pump installed under this scheme costs £13,300.

This means that a Halifax homeowner receiving the typical BUS grant and a heat pump could reduce the total cost of the device from £13,300 to £5,481.

Customers are eligible for Green Living Reward benefits when they complete their mortgage application.

This could be to purchase a home or buy a property to rent, refinance a mortgage and transfer assets, or take an additional advance.

Once they have finalized their loan, they have 12 months to file a claim.

To claim their refund, customers must fill in a few details and upload a copy of their tradesman’s invoice as evidence that the work has been completed.

Once a claim has been made, Halifax aims to pay the customer within five business days.

Andrew Asaam, Head of Mortgages at Halifax, said: “We are committed to helping our customers live in warmer, more energy efficient homes on the path to net zero. Improving the way older homes are heated, fuelled and insulated is critical.”

The Green Living Reward offer is available to mortgage customers who apply for loans in a branch, online, over the phone or through mortgage brokers, and is also available to Bank of Scotland customers.

An equivalent offer is available to Lloyds Bank mortgage customers.
