🔥 Why Choose District Heating? Because It Just Makes Sense! 🔥
🌡️ Heat on Demand - No Boiler Hassle!

And forget the stress of running out of fuel with oil-fired or solid fuel boilers. With district heating, you’ve got heat when you need it — no boiler required!
💧 Unlimited Hot Water, Instantly Available!
Imagine this: hot water whenever you want it, without waiting or planning ahead. No more limited supplies or worrying about your hot water tank running dry.
With district heating, you’re always ready for a hot shower or a warm bath — no compromises!
🤝 Local, Reliable Service - Real People, Real Support!
When you’re with district heating, you’re not just another number. You’re connected to a local company where real people are just a phone call away during office hours — no endless menus or call centre headaches!
We believe in putting the community first — it’s all about keeping it local and personal.
💰 Profits That Stay in the Community
Unlike big energy companies chasing shareholder profits, our scheme is different. Profits aren’t lining pockets — they’re gifted to the Charitable Trust, supporting the Shetland economy and giving back to the community.
