With summer on the way, we are hopefully heading for a period of lower heating costs, but it’s a good time to look into heating and insulation upgrades to help lower costs when the winter comes.
Some households may be entitled to grant funding of up to £10,000, through Home Energy Scotland, so worth checking your eligibility on the following link:

The Scottish Government’s Warmer Homes Scotland programme offers support worth £10,000 or more for eligible households for energy-saving home improvements like heating and insulation to help make your home warmer and cheaper to heat.
