Fully and part funded home energy improvements for homeowners now available in East Lothian

If you own a home in East Lothian, our Home Energy Team could help you make it warmer, greener and cheaper to run.

We have Scottish Government funding to offer fully and part funded home energy improvements for:

• solar panels and battery storage
• cavity and external wall insultation
• loft insulation

This financial year we are concentrating on homes in Tranent and Prestonpans but we are also happy to take enquiries from other areas.

We will help at every step, from advice on what will help your home to funding and arranging the work through one of our trusted contractors.  Our straightforward approach makes the process easy while delivering high-quality workmanship and a warmer home.

You may qualify if you meet one or more of the criteria below:

• own your own home
• live in a Council Tax band A-C property
• have an EPC of D or below*
• spend more than 10% of your net income on fuel costs**

*If you don’t know what your Energy Performance Certificate rating is, we can find out for you.

**Net income is your monthly income minus childcare, energy and mortgage cost. If you’re unsure how to calculate this, we can help.

If you would like more information for yourself or any clients you work with through your council role, contact our Home Energy Team to check eligibility. The application deadline is 31 May 2027.
