In Scotland, the primary source of fuel for heating is mains gas which services about 86% of properties.
However many thousands of homes and businesses in rural Scotland are "off-gas" meaning they use oil, LPG, electricity and other options such as biofuel heaters or air source heat pumps.
An energy-efficient heating system won't only save you money, it can go hand in hand with other energy efficiency measures, like good wall and loft insulation, making a huge difference to fuel bills.
Fortunately, free grants for LPG Oil and Electric heated off gas properties in Scotland are now available for 'off-gas' properties. They provide free wall, cavity, room in roof and loft insulation, free air source heat pumps, free storage heating and free solar panels.
We can arrange free insulation, free solar panels and free heat pumps for properties in
Government ECO 4 Grant Funding towards Electric Storage Heating, Insulation, Air Source Heat Pumps and Solar Panels for off-gas properties in Scotland
LPG, or Liquefied Petroleum Gas, is a popular fuel for heating off-grid properties.
However, It's typically quite an expensive method. to make matters worse, traditionally built or stone wall detached properties can suffer from excessive heat loss.
Fortunately, the vast majority of these properties can be awarded funding for wall insulation, to reduce heat loss - and your energy bills!
Oil heating is found in many older or rural properties. While effective, oil is a dirty fuel. You'll need to keep soot and dirt buildup on the furnace under control.
It's also an increasingly expensive method. To make matters worse, traditionally built or stone wall detached properties can suffer from excessive heat loss.
Fortunately, the vast majority of these properties can be awarded funding for wall insulation, to reduce heat loss - and your energy bills!
Yes! Air source heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular upgrade for off-grid rural homes that were previously heating by oil or LPG.
There's an array of funding available that provides part or full coverage for the cost of your new heat pump.
Yes, funding is available for most off-grid homes to cover some or all of the cost of solar panels where suitable.
