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.
