Most D&G rural homes are off mains gas. See exactly what switching from oil to a heat pump saves.
Most Dumfries and Galloway rural homes are off the mains gas network and heat with oil or LPG. A typical DG rural home spending £2,400 per year on heating oil can switch to an air source heat pump for as little as £2,000 net after the £9,000 rural HES grant. Running costs drop to approximately £600 to £900 per year saving £1,500 to £1,800 annually. The £18,000 rural HES combined grant and loan makes 2026 the optimal year to switch. Call 0141 230 0198.
