Home Energy Scotland

Home Energy Scotland is an advice service funded by the Scottish Government and managed by Energy Saving Trust. The Energy Agency operates the Home Energy Scotland South West advice centre which covers Ayrshire, Arran, and Dumfries & Galloway.

The friendly and knowledgeable local team provides customers with free and impartial advice on saving energy, keeping warm, using renewable energy for the home, cutting water waste, and more.

If you are struggling to heat your home, you could be eligible for support from the Scottish Government-funded Warmer Homes Scotland programme to help make your home warmer and cosier.

The services that Home Energy Scotland can provide for households in Scotland include:

  • Advice on how to reduce energy usage at home and lower bills
  • Information on grants and funding, including Warmer Homes Scotland
  • Home energy check; this provides a detailed energy efficiency report specifically for your own home
  • In-home renewable energy service for those looking to make their homes greener
  • Support for private sector landlords, including information on grants and funding
  • Free employee engagement sessions for your business or organisation
  • Water saving advice; lowering your water usage can help to reduce home energy bills.

All of these services are completely free of charge.

Home Energy Scotland also works with a large number of partners throughout South West Scotland, including local authorities, housing associations, NHS and social care, charity and voluntary organisations, food banks and food pantries, businesses, MPs and MSPs and community groups.

Our advice centre attends many events throughout South West Scotland, delivering Home Energy Scotland services and connecting with customers and partners. If you have an event you’d like the centre to attend, please get in touch.
