Important information about the Home Energy Check
Every home is different and we make a number of assumptions about you and your home when we put together the advice in this tool. It’s important that you use the advice in this tool only as a first indication of improvements that might be suitable for your home. You should get in touch with Home Energy Scotland or speak to reputable, expert installers or energy assessors before deciding to invest in any new energy-saving improvement.
We calculate our energy-saving figures on the basis that the home improvements are correctly installed and maintained. The amount of heat you use, your appliance use, and your resulting fuel bills will affect how much you save from different improvements.
You can change our default assumptions about fuel bills in the “Your fuel bills” section of the Home Energy Check. We also assume that, after improving your home, you keep your heating at the same level.
We hope the Home Energy Check inspires you to think about energy-saving home improvements.
Remember, Home Energy Scotland and Energy Saving Trust cannot be held liable for any decisions or actions you may take based on the information provided in the Home Energy Check.
