HOME ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMMES FOR SCOTLAND (HEEPS)

Home Energy Efficiency Programme Scotland (HEEPS) is a government-funded initiative aimed at helping Scottish residents make energy-efficient improvements to their homes, reducing their energy bills, and lowering carbon emissions.

HEEPS offers a range of measures to help improve the energy efficiency of homes, including insulation, heating upgrades, and renewable energy technologies. There are different schemes within HEEPS that you can apply for, depending on your circumstances, including:

1. Area-Based Schemes – These are available in selected areas of Scotland, and provide free energy efficiency measures to eligible households, such as loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, and heating upgrades.
2. Homecare and Home Energy Scotland Loan – These are interest-free loans to help homeowners make energy efficiency improvements to their properties.
3. Warmer Homes Scotland – This scheme provides free insulation and heating upgrades to eligible households that are struggling to heat their homes.

To apply for any of the HEEPS schemes, you can contact Home Energy Scotland for advice and guidance on the most suitable scheme for your circumstances. You can call them on 0808 808 2282 or visit their website at homeenergyscotland.org. They will help you determine your eligibility and guide you through the application process
