Home Energy Scotland Can Help
In February, Ofgem announced an increase to the energy price cap meaning that many Scottish households will see increases in energy bills from 1 April 2022. While you might find this news worrying, we want to assure you that we’re here to help.

Make Simple Changes
You might be surprised by how much money you can save by making simple changes to cut your energy use at home.
For example, switching your appliances off at the wall instead of leaving them on standby could save you £55 a year and won’t cost you a penny. Even reducing your shower time to four minutes a day could save you £65 a year.
