What is it?

The Great British Insulation Scheme

is a UK government initiative focused on enhancing energy efficiency in homes. It aims to provide insulation to reduce energy consumption, lower household energy bills, and decrease carbon emissions. Targeted at low-income and vulnerable households, the scheme offers various types of insulation, such as loft and wall insulation, often at no or reduced cost. By improving home insulation, the scheme seeks to cut energy demand, support the UK's climate goals, and alleviate fuel poverty, ultimately contributing to better living conditions and environmental sustainability.

What Home Improvements Can I Receive?

ECO4 takes a ‘whole house approach’ and does not focus on one particular home improvement. Instead, a surveyor looks at all the features of your house and can help you access several of the below measures to make the largest energy savings. In certain properties it is possible to receive 4 or even 5 of these measures at the same time, with no customer contribution.

Loft Insulation Internal Wall Insulation Air Source Heat Pump

Floor Insulation External Wall Insulation Solar Panels

Room In Roof Insulation Full Central heating

The funding towards these measures will improve your homes’ energy efficiency, protecting you against rising energy costs. In addition, these measures will work to eliminate issues like condensation, damp, and mold. Our team of expert surveyors can advise you on the best measures to reduce your bills, cut your carbon footprint, and improve your home.
