Home Energy Scotland’s online advice hub has been improved and refreshed to make it easier for you to find out how to cut your energy costs and make your home warmer. 

What is the Home Energy Scotland advice hub?

Our advice hub - which is free to use - features a range of tools to help you start your energy saving journey by giving you advice, all tailored to you. 

You can:

  • take a home energy check to find out what energy saving improvements might be suitable for your home
  • find out what funding is available in your area, including grants and loans from the Scottish Government
  • check whether you could be eligible for Warmer Homes Scotland, if you’re struggling to heat your home.

What improvements have we made?

We’ve improved the overall look and feel of the advice hub, making it easier for you to find the information you want and need. 

We’ve also made some changes to how you use the hub - for example, you can tell us what you’d like us to help you with so that you can receive advice that’s more relevant to you. 

We’ve also made some technical improvements that will ensure we can keep improving the advice hub to give you the best possible experience.

How to use the advice hub

If you’ve used the advice hub before

If you’ve used our advice hub before and already had an account, your previous log in details will no longer work and you’ll need to create a new account. We’ve contacted everyone that had previously registered to tell them this, and we’ve securely deleted all old account details.

If you’ve never used the advice hub

It’s easy to get started. You can use the advice hub as a guest, but for the best experience, we recommend creating an account so that you can save your energy saving recommendations for later. The advice hub is free to use.

Help us keep improving our online advice

We hope you’ll enjoy using the new advice hub. If you have any feedback or issues using it, please contact us to let us know.
