Renewable energy in Aberdeen
Expert guidance on heat pumps, solar PV, battery storage and funding for homeowners in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, with introductions to MCS-certified installers.
Aberdeen’s solid granite homes are built to last, but thick stone walls, older windows and exposed North Sea weather can make them costly to heat. Many properties across the city and wider Aberdeenshire also sit off the gas grid, relying on oil or LPG.
A well-designed heat pump, often paired with solar PV and battery storage, can give these homes steady, lower-carbon warmth. We help Aberdeen homeowners understand what could work, from city terraces to rural farmhouses, and what Home Energy Scotland funding may be available.
Explore the technologies Aberdeen homeowners ask us about most, and how each could work in your home.

Answers to questions homeowners in Aberdeen often ask.
Yes, many stone-built homes can be heated well by a heat pump. The system must be designed around the home’s heat loss, and improvements such as loft insulation or larger radiators may be recommended after a survey.
Eligible remote and rural homes may qualify for a rural uplift on the Home Energy Scotland heat pump grant. We can help you understand whether your address could qualify.
Yes. Solar PV generates electricity from daylight, and long summer days in the North East help offset shorter winter days. Your installer will estimate generation for your specific roof.
