Renewable energy in Perth
Guidance on heat pumps, solar, batteries and funding for homeowners in Perth and across Perthshire.
Perth and Perthshire combine a historic city of stone villas and terraces with market towns, villages and remote rural homes in the glens. Many rural Perthshire properties are off the gas grid and rely on oil or LPG.
Whether you live in the city or out towards Crieff, Pitlochry or Blairgowrie, we help you understand which renewable technologies could suit your home and what funding may be available, then introduce you to an experienced MCS-certified installer.
Explore the technologies that could work for your Perth or Perthshire home, in the city or the glens.
Funding in Perth
Homeowners in Perth may be eligible for a Home Energy Scotland grant of up to £7,500 towards a heat pump, with an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. Many homes in and around Perth are rural or off the gas grid, and eligible remote, rural and island homes may qualify for an additional rural uplift.
Funding is set by Home Energy Scotland and is subject to eligibility and availability. Never start work before you receive a written offer.

Answers to questions homeowners in Perth often ask.
Yes. Oil-heated homes are often strong candidates for a heat pump. A survey will confirm the right system size and any radiator upgrades.
Many domestic air source heat pumps in Scotland can be installed under permitted development rights, but conditions apply and listed buildings or conservation areas may differ. Your installer can confirm.
If you are out during the day or use most electricity in the evening, a battery can help you use more of your solar power. We help you weigh it up.
