7 Energy-Saving Tips for Scottish Homes in Cold Weather

1. Draught-Proof Windows and Doors

Cold air sneaking in through gaps can make your heating work overtime. Use draught excluders, sealant, or self-adhesive strips to stop leaks around windows, doors, and letterboxes.

2. Insulate Your Loft and Walls

A quarter of a home’s heat can be lost through an uninsulated loft. Adding insulation is one of the most cost-effective ways to retain warmth and reduce heating bills.

3. Service Your Boiler Regularly

An annual boiler service keeps your heating system working safely and efficiently. If your boiler is over 10 years old, upgrading to a modern condensing model can dramatically reduce energy use.

4. Lower the Thermostat Slightly

Reducing your thermostat by just 1°C can save around 10% on heating bills without making your home noticeably colder.

5. Fit Reflective Panels Behind Radiators

Radiator reflectors will bounce heat back into the room rather than letting it escape through the walls.

6. Make the Most of Natural Light

Keep curtains open during daylight hours to let in free solar heat. Clean windows also help maximise this easy method.

7. Consider Renewable Heating Options

Air-source heat pumps, solar panels, and home battery systems are becoming increasingly popular across Scotland. Grants and funding options are often available to make these upgrades more affordable.
