Renewable energy in Inverness
Renewable energy advice for homeowners in Inverness and the Highlands, including heat pumps, solar PV and funding guidance.
Homes in Inverness and the surrounding Highlands face long, cold winters, and many properties beyond the city are off the gas grid, relying on oil, LPG or electric heating. That makes the case for efficient, low-carbon heating particularly strong.
Highland homeowners may also benefit from the rural uplift on Home Energy Scotland heat pump grants, where eligible. We help you understand what could work for your home, from city houses to remote crofts, and introduce you to an experienced MCS-certified installer.
