Scottish Energy Efficiency is an impartial advisory and matching service based in Dundee. We help homeowners find the right solar installer but we do not install solar panels or sell equipment ourselves. All installation work is carried out by our accredited partner.
What does Scottish Energy Efficiency actually do?
We are an impartial advisory and matching service — we help you find the right installer, but we do not install solar panels or sell equipment ourselves.
Scottish Energy Efficiency exists because choosing a solar installer in Scotland shouldn't feel like guesswork. There are hundreds of companies quoting for work — different panels, different prices, different promises. Most homeowners have no easy way to tell who is competent, who is certified, and who will still be around in ten years when a warranty claim arises.
That is the problem we set out to solve. Based at Prospect Business Centre, Dundee, our small team reviews installer credentials, checks accreditations, and builds a pre-vetted network that homeowners can trust. When you contact us, we match you with a partner whose certifications, service area, and expertise fit your project.
We are not salespeople. We do not earn commission on the price you pay. Our service is funded through partnership agreements with installers in our network, and that is disclosed upfront. The quote you receive from a partner is the same price you'd get by going to them directly — no markup, no hidden fee.
Think of us as the honest friend who happens to know which tradespeople are actually worth calling. Except we check their MCS certificates rather than relying on word of mouth.
How does the matching process work?
You fill in a short form, we assess your needs, and our vetted MCS-certified installation partner provides a tailored, no-obligation quote within a few days.
Our service is free to homeowners, with no obligation at any stage. Here is exactly what happens when you get in touch.
You tell us about your property
Postcode, roof orientation, current energy bill — the basics. Takes two minutes.
We review and match
Our advisors assess your requirements and match you with the right installation partner from our pre-vetted network.
You receive free quotes
Your matched partner contacts you directly with a fully itemised, no-obligation quote at their standard rates.
You decide — no pressure
Compare, ask questions, take your time. We are here to advise, never to push.
Who installs the solar panels?
All installations are carried out by Home Heating Services (Scotland) Ltd — MCS certified (IAA10151), TrustMark registered (3559930), and Gas Safe registered (559575).
Home Heating Services (Scotland) Ltd
All installation work arranged through Scottish Energy Efficiency is carried out by Home Heating Services (Scotland) Ltd, a Scottish-registered company (company number SC484353).
They — not us — hold the MCS certification, TrustMark registration, and Gas Safe registration. That distinction matters: it means the people on your roof are directly accountable under those schemes, with their own insurance, their own warranties, and their own regulatory obligations.
We chose to work with Home Heating Services because their credentials are verifiable, their workmanship is consistent, and they cover all Scottish postcodes. You can check their registrations independently on the MCS and TrustMark directories.

Where is Scottish Energy Efficiency based?
We are based at Prospect Business Centre in Dundee and serve homeowners across all Scottish postcodes through our installation partner network.
We are a small team working out of Prospect Business Centre in Dundee. When you call 0141 230 0198, you speak to someone who lives in Scotland and understands Scottish weather, Scottish housing stock, and Scottish energy grants. Not a call centre.
We know the difference between a south-facing bungalow roof in Fife and a slate-clad tenement in Glasgow — and we know it matters when sizing a system.
