Tips for Saving on Your Electricity in Northern Scotland


Take Advantage of Small Cosy Price Dips

Use Heat Pump Weather Compensation

Allow your heat pump to adjust automatically to outdoor temperatures for maximum efficiency and comfort.

Schedule Hot Water Heating

Use small price dips to heat water efficiently without impacting bills significantly.

Upgrade Home Insulation

Better insulation reduces energy demand, letting your heat pump maintain comfort efficiently.

Use a Smart Remote Heat Pump Controller

Controllers like Havenwise can automatically align heat pump usage with tariff peaks and troughs.
