One question we get asked a lot is 'Why is the Great British Insulation Scheme funding free? It sounds to good to be true.' However, on this occasion it is true!
Schemes such as the Great British Insulation Scheme are backed by the UK government, and those who are eligible are able to claim thousands of pounds in free funding to insulate their home.
Why is the funding free?
The Great British Insulation Scheme, often referred to as GBIS, is a relatively new Government energy efficiency scheme which is to be administered by Ofgem. The purpose of the scheme is to improve the least energy-efficient homes in the UK in order to help reduce energy bills and tackle 'fuel poverty'.
And there's no catch. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you're able to access the scheme.
But the question you may be asking is 'Am I able to access funding through Great British Insulation Scheme?'
No benefit? No problem. Unlike other schemes, you do not need to be in receipt of a benefit.
You might get support if your home:
- has an energy performance certificate (EPC) of D to G.
- is in Council Tax bands A-D in England or A-E in Scotland or Wales.
Your living situation
You can be a homeowner, landlord or tenant (either renting privately or from a housing association). If you’re a tenant, speak to your landlord before you apply. You’ll need their permission before any insulation can be installed.
So what kind of heating upgrade could I be looking at?
Those who qualify may be able to get support to install the following kinds of measures:
- Cavity Wall Insulation
- Solid Wall Insulation
- Loft Insulation
- Room in Roof Insulation
