Support for green heat installers

Our Green Heat Installer Engagement Programme helps you discover funding opportunities, navigate current legislation and access resources to help your customers.

If your organisation provides high quality energy efficiency and renewable products and services in Scotland, our Green Heat Installer Engagement Programme can offer you help and resources. The programme is delivered by Energy Saving Trust on behalf of the Scottish Government and works with a number of key partners, including Home Energy Scotland, Business Energy Scotland, and the Energy Skills Partnership. 

Installer toolkits 

By 2030 Scotland could need up to 15,500 heat pump installers and 175,000 energy efficiency retrofit installers to meet net zero heating system targets. Are you prepared for these changes?

We’ve created a Heat Pump Installer Toolkit and Insulation Toolkit to help you get started on your upskilling journey. You can find information on college courses, funding, installation considerations and the latest government legislation.
