GBIS
If you’re struggling to keep your home warm and you’re fed up of high energy bills, it may be worth checking whether you qualify for support through the government’s Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS).
The initiative is designed to make homes more energy efficient and affordable to heat with free or low-cost insulation.
What is GBIS?
The Great British Insulation Scheme (formerly known as ECO+) is a national energy efficiency programme, created by the government to help eligible households to install insulation, which can reduce heat loss and cut energy bills. The programme is designed to complement the ECO4 Scheme, providing support with insulation measures for those living in homes with a low Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating in certain council tax bands.
If your home has poor insulation and a low energy efficiency rating, you could be eligible for a GBIS grant to help cover the cost of installing loft or cavity wall insulation. This can make your home feel warmer in winter and cooler during the summer months, whilst significantly helping to lower your energy bills.
Who can Benefit from GBIS?
You may be eligible for free insulation under GBIS if you live in a low income or vulnerable household and you receive certain benefits.
Even if you’re not eligible for benefits, you could still qualify for subsidised insulation if you meet the following criteria:
- Your home is in council tax bands A-D
- Your home has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D or below
- Your home requires insulation
It’s easy to find out if you qualify for a GBIS grant by contacting our Merseyside-based team. Our friendly advisors are ready to take your call on 0151 486 4336.
