Energy advice in Scotland and Wales
Home Energy Scotland is a network of local advice centres across Scotland, managed by Energy Saving Trust and funded by the Scottish government. Our expert advisors offer free, impartial advice on energy saving, keeping warm at home, renewable energy, greener travel, cutting water waste, and more.
Energy Saving Trust delivers a similar customer advice service in Wales – Nest – which aims to combat fuel poverty in the country. The scheme, which receives funding from the Welsh government, offers a range of free, impartial advice and, if you’re eligible, a package of free home energy efficiency improvement such as a new boiler, central heating or insulation. This can help to lower your energy bills and benefit your health and wellbeing. You can check your eligibility for the improvements or request a call back from one of our advisors.
Delivering world class customer service
Achieving this excellent score is testament to the hard work and dedication of our expert advice teams, who have had to adapt to working from home during lockdown. One customer who has experienced our world class quality of service is Mrs M, who called to enquire about funding for improved, affordable heating in her home.
She said: “The advisor was very helpful, informative, professional and friendly. A first-class service and interaction from all members of staff I have spoken to throughout the process. The staff have excellent communication skills.”
Another customer reached out to Home Energy Scotland for advice on saving money on her energy bills. She told us about her experience with one of our customer service advisors, Samantha:
“Samantha was friendly, informative and very professional and helpful. A lot of people, myself included, are not aware of the help that’s out there. I personally know quite a few people who really struggle, not because they are careless or don’t budget, but because they work part time and claim benefits, or work full time earning minimum wage.
“When two-thirds of their take home wage goes on rent and council tax, heating becomes a luxury. The rest is tightly budgeted on food and bus fares. As a friend and a human being, I feel it’s very necessary to inform them of the assistance that is available to them.”
