More money in your pocket

What's on offer

A benefit and tax credit check, and access to the lowest-cost energy rates from your energy supplier.

Many people miss out on money they are entitled to from benefits and tax credits - just because they don't know it's there. 

Energy suppliers also offer some people discounted energy rates. Home Energy Scotland can advise about any discounts that may be available to help you pay less for the energy you use.

Who this is for?

Everyone may be eligible depending on circumstances. Call Home Energy Scotland now on 0808 808 2282 for personalised advice.

Energy efficiency measures

What's on offer

Energy Efficient Scotland: Area Based Scheme is funded by the Scottish Government. This scheme is designed to make your home warmer, whilst also reducing your bills, by installing a range of energy efficiency improvements, such as solar panels and batteries, loft insulation and some forms of wall insulation. 

This scheme is currently targeting areas in Alloa, Alva and Tullibody, however homes outside of this area may also be eligible for inclusion. If you would like to enquire about your eligibility for this scheme please call 01259 450000 or email: fuelenergyadvice@clacks.gov.uk.

ECO4

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a energy efficiency scheme devised by the UK Government to help tackle fuel poverty. Recent changes to this (known as ‘Flexible Eligibility’) have allowed local councils to set criteria to assist those who are struggling with energy bills or who (because of health issues) are vulnerable to the effects of living in a cold home.   

The accompanying document outlines our Statement of Intent in relation to accessing ECO Flexible Eligibility funding and identifying households which can have energy efficiency improvements installed under this scheme.

Warmer Homes Scotland

Warmer Homes Scotland (WHS) is the Scottish Governments national fuel poverty scheme, designed to improve the energy efficiency of eligible homes in Scotland. This is achieved through the installation of various energy efficiency improvements, such as insulation and heating. If you would like to enquire about this scheme please contact Home Energy Scotland on 0808 808 2282 to discuss your eligibility.
