Home energy upgrades in Aberdeen
Aberdeen is the Granite City, and homes built in thick local granite are a defining feature, along with a cold, windy North Sea climate.
Homes you will find in Aberdeen
Granite tenements and houses have very thick solid walls that are durable but difficult to insulate. Post-war housing and newer developments further out are mostly cavity-wall.
Long, cold winters make heating costs a real concern for many households.

Upgrades that often come up here
- Loft insulation: Easy to do and a sensible first step in a cold climate.
- Draught-proofing: Wind exposure makes air-sealing worthwhile, with ventilation kept.
- Air source heat pump: Worth considering only for well-insulated homes, with a careful design survey.

Worth knowing locally
Solid granite walls need specialist advice before any wall insulation, as the wrong approach can trap moisture. Scotland has its own EPC register.
