Home Energy Scotland (HES) is a Scottish Government-backed service delivered through the Energy Saving Trust, providing advice and support to help households improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs.

Support can include a combination of grants, interest-free loans and additional financial assistance depending on household circumstances, property details and eligibility requirements.

Funding and support levels may vary based on income, EPC rating and whether a household is considered vulnerable or living in a harder-to-heat property.
