Benefits of taking part

• You could save money, as less fuel may be needed to heat your home. On average, money spent on insulation is recouped within two years.

• We are making it easy - from providing advice and completing the Home Energy Check form, to installing the insulation... we will guide you through the whole process.

• It is good value so you can expect lower costs compared with sourcing your cavity wall and loft insulation insulation privately. Top-up loft insulation will be free of charge if you already have loft insulation, irrespective of the size of your loft!

• Reassurance of quality and service, as the Home Insulation Scheme is local authority endorsed and Scottish Government funded.

• You could be warmer and more comfortable, as an uninsulated home can typically lose over half of its heat through its walls and roof.

• You could be reducing CO2 emissions as a result of using less energy in your home.

• For homeowners - it could make selling your home easier in the future. The Home Energy Report sent to you as part of the Home Insulation Scheme indicates the current energy rating of your property and advises how to make your property more energy efficient. Acting upon the recommendations in the report will help you get a better rating on the Energy Performance Certificate part of a Home Information Pack for your property.

• For landlords - it could make renting your property easier. Improving the quality of your property through installing insulation could help you attract and retain tenants. Installing insulation may help tenants live in greater comfort and warmth, reduce their fuel bills and save money.
