Warmworks has been awarded funding from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to deliver the Electrification of Heat Demonstration Project to householders in South East Scotland.
The project will install a range of different heat pumps, which are a renewable form of domestic heating technology, in around 250 homes across the region. The majority of those homes will be privately owned and on the gas grid. The cost of the heat pump and installation is fully covered through funding from BEIS.
The project aims to make homes warmer and more energy efficient over the longer term, as well as reducing householders’ reliance on fossil fuels and traditional sources of heat. It is also intended to improve the UK Government’s understanding of why householders might want to install heat pumps, the barriers they face in doing so and how a large-scale rollout of heat pumps might work in the future.
There are three project areas in different parts of the UK, each managed by different companies.
Warmworks is the chosen delivery partner in South East Scotland.
Changeworks, a leading environmental charity based in Edinburgh, led a programme of activity to find applicants for the project.
Warmworks is working closely with a range of partners to deliver the project and will oversee the delivery of the end-to-end process, ensuring that customers experience a first-class, streamlined service. The graphic below shows the steps involved in the project.
Every member of Warmworks’ supply chain for this project will be held to our extremely high standards for their quality of work .
This is consistently monitored by a dedicated performance management system and our in-house team provides daily support to all sub-contractors to ensure customers receive a first-class service.
We are not accepting any new applications at this time. If you are an existing customer and would like to get in touch with us, contact Warmworks on EOH_scotland@warmworks.co.uk
Formed in 2015, Warmworks is a joint venture partnership between three organisations with considerable experience and understanding of our industry and the customers we serve. These organisations are Energy Saving Trust, Everwarm and Changeworks. We are committed to providing affordable warmth to homes, families and communities across the country.
We deliver a range of contracts across the country, from the Orkney Islands to South East England, aimed at helping people to manage their energy costs by improving the energy efficiency of their home. We are also the Managing Agent of the Scottish Government’s national fuel poverty scheme, Warmer Homes Scotland. Since the scheme was launched in 2015, we have supported more than 35,000 people across Scotland to stay warm in their home, save against their energy bills and make their home more energy efficient. For information about all the contracts and projects we manage, visit the Our Work page of our website.
We are the Managing Agent for most of the projects we deliver. This means we oversee the installation of heating, energy efficiency and insulation work in our customers’ homes, from the initial survey where we’ll discuss the measures that could be installed, right through to a final inspection to make sure everything meets our rigorous safety and quality standards.
We recognise that we have a role in supporting the communities in which we work and live. This has meant working to create jobs and training opportunities, supporting communities with approaches tailored to their needs, and leaving a real, lasting legacy. Since we were founded in 2015, we have supported the creation of more than 150 apprenticeships in our supply chain, more than 700 jobs, and over 3,000 training opportunities. For more information about how we support local communities, visit the Our communities page of our website.
We manage a network of more than 20 registered and accredited sub-contractors, known as our supply chain, who help us provide a first-class service to our customers. Each sub-contractor is continually assessed by a specially designed performance management system. The aim of this is to help reassure our customers that they will receive high quality workmanship, that the people carrying out work in their home are professional and trustworthy, and that our sub-contractors are able to deal with any questions or concerns.
We are dedicated to providing an inclusive service that takes account of our customers’ individual needs. We understand that some of our customers will often need extra support. Our service has been specifically designed to allow us to meet these needs wherever we can.
