Frequently asked questions

What is Warmer Homes Scotland?

Warmer Homes Scotland is the Scottish Government's energy efficiency grant scheme for eligible homeowners and private tenants. It is a different scheme from the UK Government's Warm Homes Plan and is administered by Home Energy Scotland, which can be reached on 0808 808 2282. It funds insulation, heating upgrades, and heat pumps for eligible low-income and vulnerable households in Scotland.

Is the Warm Homes Plan available in Scotland?

The UK Government's Warm Homes Plan is primarily an England scheme. Scotland has its own equivalent, Warmer Homes Scotland. However, the UK-wide Boiler Upgrade Scheme does apply in Scotland, offering up to £7,500 off a new heat pump for eligible homeowners.

Who qualifies for Warmer Homes Scotland?

Warmer Homes Scotland is targeted at low-income households, including those receiving means-tested benefits, and vulnerable households such as those with elderly or disabled residents. Eligibility criteria differ from the English Warm Homes Plan, so it is worth contacting Home Energy Scotland directly on 0808 808 2282 or submitting the form below to check your specific circumstances.

Can I apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme in Scotland?

Yes. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies in Scotland and Wales as well as England. Eligible homeowners replacing a fossil fuel heating system with a heat pump can claim up to £7,500 off the installation cost. The scheme is not means-tested, making it accessible to a wider range of Scottish homeowners.

Are there other Scottish grant schemes?

Yes. Local authorities in Scotland administer additional area-based schemes funded by the Scottish Government. Home Energy Scotland can provide details of current schemes available in your local area. Phone 0808 808 2282 (free) or submit the form below to find out what applies to your Scottish property.

Is the eligibility check free?

Yes. Submitting the form is free and there is no obligation. We will connect you with an accredited installer who can assess your eligibility for Scottish and UK-wide schemes.
