GBIS / ECO+
What is the Great British Insulation Scheme ?
The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS), also known as ECO+ Scheme, is an integral part of the UK Government’s latest phase of the Energy Company Obligation Scheme – ECO4.
The Great British Insulation Scheme (ECO+) is designed to deliver improvements to the least energy-efficient homes in Great Britain to become more energy effecient by funding home insulation measures. It is an integral part of the government’s mission to tackle fuel poverty and reduce carbon emissions.
This allows further 400,000 more residents, in addition to those already eligible for ECO funding through benefits, to qualify and apply for the funding scheme.
All the regulations around the Great British Insulation Scheme funding and roles of councils are outlined and administered by OFGEM (The Office of Gas and Electricity Markets)
However, we can help you apply for the Great British Insulation Scheme (ECO+) for FREE. Make an online application or call us direct on 0300 302 0221.
Benefits of GBIS / ECO+
How the Great British Insulation Scheme (ECO+) Can Help You
The Great British Insulation Scheme aims to offer home insulation to households throughout the UK, particularly focusing on those in the lower Council Tax bands with the least energy-efficient homes, and prioritizing support for the most vulnerable individuals.
Here are some of the Free measures / products included:
- Free Cavity Wall Insulation
- Free Loft and Floor Insulation
- External and internall solid wall insulation.
Eventually, through this scheme, households can experience the long-term benefits towards the energy efficiency of their house and contribute towards the United Kingdom’s 2050 net-zero emissions target. Some of long-term benefits include:
- Energy Efficient household improvements for free.
- Increase in household comfort and warmth.
- Decrease in heating and overall energy bills by hundreds of £ annually.
- Reducing the overall carbon footprint of the household.
According to the UK Government, if you opt for insulation measures under the scheme, you could potentially save approximately £310 per year on your energy bills. In England, Scotland, and Wales, installing loft insulation in a semi-detached house cost about £640 and could result in savings of around £355 annually. Similarly, cavity wall insulation installation, which costs around £1,000 in a semi-detached house, can save you approximately £395 per year.
Eligibility for GBIS / ECO+
Who is eligible for the Great British Insulation scheme?
The Great British Insulation Scheme aids individuals who are not currently eligible for government support through the ECO scheme, and who have not received any other form of funding from the UK Government for enhancing their home’s energy efficiency.
You could qualify for free insulation measures for your property via the Great British Insulation Scheme if you fall in one of the following categories:
1. Residents living in homes with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D-G and falling within council tax bands A-D in England and A-E in Scotland and Wales.
2. Low-income households residing in homes with an EPC rating of D-G, who may not be eligible for support under the ECO4 scheme.
You can check your Council Tax Band here and check the EPC rating of your home here to see if you might be eligible for the scheme.
