Commercial retrofit for Millport Bowling Club

Case Study: Millport Bowling Club – A Community Hub Goes Green with Green Home Systems

Client: Millport Bowling Club, Isle of Cumbrae
Project Partner: Carbon Neutral Islands Project
Delivered By: Green Home Systems

The Challenge

Millport Bowling Club, a historic part of the Isle of Cumbrae’s community for over 150 years, plays a vital role as a year-round gathering place for local clubs and organisations. However, the clubhouse's dated oil-based heating system was inefficient, costly, and misaligned with Scotland’s broader decarbonisation goals.

As part of the Carbon Neutral Islands Project, Community Development Officer Scott Watson sought a retrofit solution that would reduce emissions, improve comfort, and support long-term energy savings—all while preserving the club’s ability to serve the local community through the colder months.

The Solution

Green Home Systems—experts in domestic and commercial energy retrofits—delivered a full in-house upgrade:

From initial assessment to installation and post-installation support, Green Home Systems managed the entire process seamlessly. Their team ensured that the new system was not only installed efficiently but also optimised for long-term performance.

The Results

  • A warmer, more energy-efficient clubhouse for community use
  • Significant reduction in reliance on fossil fuels
  • Ongoing support and education for system users

“They didn’t just install the system and leave. They cared about making sure the system was running efficiently and that we understood how to use it. The experience of working with Green Home Systems was superb.”
— Scott Watson, Community Development Officer, Carbon Neutral Islands
