Save energy with the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS).

Are you a homeowner or private renter looking to save money by becoming more energy efficient? The government's Great British Insulation Scheme will do just that.

Not only will insulation keep you warmer in winter, it will also help you stay cooler during the summer as it limits the amount of heat travelling through the walls of your home.

Plus if you qualify for the scheme, you could insulate your home for free1.

With an average energy cost saving of around £240 per year for a semi-detached home with cavity wall insulation installed, why not find out what the scheme involves and how it could benefit you.

1 To qualify for free insulation, you'll need to own your own home, and your council tax band is between A and E with an EPC rating of D or lower. Or your home has an EPC rating of D or lower, and either you or someone you live with is in receipt of one of the listed benefits below. If scaffolding is required to install CWI, there could be a cost, but we'll let you know before you decide to go ahead.

What can you get with the Great British Insulation Scheme?

At the heart of this scheme is a focus on affordability and comfort to make your home more energy efficient. The scheme will run until March 2026 and offers the following energy efficient upgrades:

  • Cavity wall insulation.

  • Loft insulation.

  • Underfloor insulation.

Benefit from the Home Upgrade Grant.

HUG is a government initiative that'll deliver up to £700 million in funding to local authorities to improve homes in England with energy-efficient upgrades and low-carbon heating.

We're working in partnership with these local authorities to install the energy-efficient improvements to homes with low incomes and EPC ratings that don't use gas as the main way to heat their homes.

What energy-efficient improvements can you get from HUG?

Depending on where you live in the country, you could get a range improvements including cavity wall, loft insulation or a new heating system:

What is ECO4?

ECO4 is an Energy Company Obligation and a government scheme to help Britain's most vulnerable households to keep warm and save money by improving your home's energy rating.

All homes have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, ranging from A to G. The scheme offers you a number of energy-efficient measures to improve your property’s EPC rating. You can check the EPC rating of your home.

In the last 15 years EON has installed over 1.5 million energy-saving measures in over 450,000 households across Britain.

If you’re eligible, we’ll carry out a detailed survey of your property to check if solid wall insulation is suitable for your home. We’ll also check if you could benefit from a tailored package of heating and insulation improvements that could help make heating your home much cheaper, easier, and more efficient.

Benefit from solid wall insulation (SWI).

By installing solid wall insulation you can transform your home into a cosy haven and make a positive impact on the environment.

Solid wall insulation is an energy efficient method of upgrading the thermal performance of your home by applying the insulation directly to the interior or exterior walls of your home. This creates a protective layer which minimises heat loss and reduces energy bills.

What home improvements can you get with ECO4?

It will depend on what your home needs. We’ll carry out a survey of your home to see what you need to do to increase energy efficiency and improve your home’s overall energy performance certificate (EPC). Some of the upgrades we offer include:

  • Solid wall insulation.

  • Cavity wall insulation.

  • External wall insulation.

  • Loft insulation.

  • Floor insulation.

  • Solar panels.
