Government-backed Funding
It might be possible to for you to obtain funding to improve your home and it's energy efficiency, so you don't have to pay a penny! It sounds too good to be true, we know, but it really is possible! Accessing the government-backed ECO schemes is possible for most people in the UK. There are various schemes offering different levels of funding depending on the measures you wish to have installed. As part of the governments target to reduce the carbon footprint of the UK, the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) was created. Energy suppliers like British Gas, EON, and Scottish Power, are obliged to allocate a percentage of their profits to fund and promote the installation of home improvement, energy efficiency measures across the UK. This means companies like British Gas, could be paying for you to have a new heating system or insulation installed in your home!

Don't Worry!
There is also funding available under the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS), for homeowners and tenants, interested in having insulation measures installed. The most popular insulation measures completed under GBIS at the moment are Cavity Wall and Loft Insulation. It is also possible to have Internal Wall and Room in Roof insulation completed under GBIS too, however the funding often doesn't cover the full cost of the installation for these measures so a contribution may be required in these circumstances.
To qualify for funding under GBIS, your council tax band must be A-D for residents living in England, and A-E for residents living in Wales. Contact us today for further information!
