What is Warmer Homes Scotland?

The Scottish Government’s Warmer Homes Scotland programme offers support to households that are struggling to stay warm and keep on top of energy bills. If you need help to reduce your heating bills and make your home cosier, you could get support worth up to £10,000 or more. 

Depending on your circumstances and property type, you could get improvements ranging from insulation to heating system upgrades. 

Once you’ve spoken with us and if we refer you, Warmworks, the organisation that delivers the programme, will guide you through every step - from checking your home, recommending improvements, installing the improvements and finally making sure the work is done properly.
