Supporting scotland’s Home Owners find funding & grants
Homeowners are responsible for important tasks in our housing stock including maintenance, improving aesthetics and amenities and preserving heritage features. Every intervention in the home is a chance to incorporate energy efficiency measures.
However, home energy efficiency is difficult: difficult to understand, disruptive to the household and often less effective than expected. We are changing that, including helping you find the right funding and guiding you through the process. We’re here to make it easy.
Supporting The Local Supply Chain
Through educating homeowners and supporting skills development we both reduce the cost of sales and increase the value of work for local tradespeople and building professionals including architects.
When you receive your funding, we connect you with our trusted tradespeople. No more chasing or searching needed.
eCO4 funds retrofit changes that save the planet
Climate change is already a threat to our buildings, many of which have significant heritage value. Stronger winds and more intense wind-driven rainfall make proper maintenance more important than ever. Weather extremes such as the 2018 heat wave and the -10C cold snap in February 2021 make home comfort harder to achieve. These problems will continue to get worse until we stop burning oil, coal and gas.
Scotland’s international commitments to achieving net zero carbon emissions demand a revolution in almost every part of our lives. Decarbonising the ways in which we heat our homes is one the hardest parts of this challenge. The lowest overall cost to taxpayer, bill payer and ‘home maintainer’ will come from a mixture of investments in both energy efficiency and renewables.
Why Choose Loco Home for ECO4 funding?
As a social enterprise applying community wealth building principles we support accelerated decarbonisation. We provide services to homeowners who want to get the best return on their investments in their properties: addressing comfort, maintenance and carbon together.
Are you a homeowner in Scotland looking to improve your home’s energy efficiency — but worried about the cost? You may be eligible for ECO funding in Scotland, a government-backed scheme that helps cover the cost of insulation, heating upgrades, and other retrofit improvements.

What Is ECO Funding?
