Our advisors are based across Scotland, working in our five regional advice centres, which means they have valuable local knowledge to help you. Our teams help thousands of householders every year to save money on their energy bills and have warmer homes. 

In the Highlands and Islands, our advice centre manager Vicky Walker said: 

“Between April 2023 and the end of March 2024, our centre gave energy saving advice to more than 15,000 households across the Highlands and Islands and other areas of Scotland through our advice centre network. Please contact us on our freephone number or complete our contact form for advice by email if you’re worried about your energy costs this year. We can chat to you on WhatsApp too.”

Don’t just take our word for it. Discover how we helped a householder by referring them for help through the Scottish Government’s Warmer Homes Scotland programme, which is delivered by Warmworks.

Throughout 2025, our advice teams won’t just be busy answering your calls and making referrals to programmes like Warmer Homes Scotland. They’ll also answer thousands of digital enquiries and work closely in partnership with hundreds of partner organisations and community groups throughout the country.
