Great British Insulation Scheme

( GBIS )

Understanding the Great British Insulation Scheme

The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) is a government program in the UK designed to help people make their homes more energy-efficient. The main goal is to provide insulation for homes, which helps keep them warmer and reduces heating costs.

What is the qualifying criteria? See below

Your homes Council Tax Band MUST be between A-D. Click here to find out.

Your homes EPC report MUST be rated D-G. Click here to find out.

What is an EPC?

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a report that shows how energy-efficient a home is. It gives the building a rating from A (very efficient) to G (not efficient).

Purpose: It helps you know how much energy the home uses and how much it might cost to heat and power it.

Recommendations: The EPC includes tips on how to make the home more energy-efficient, like adding insulation or upgrading the heating system.

So, an EPC is like a report card for a building’s energy use, helping you understand and improve its efficiency.

Do I need an EPC to apply?

You do not need an EPC to apply, if you meet the Council Tax Band criteria then apply today and we will send out an assessor to you to generate a rating for your home

What if my EPC is

If you have an invalid EPC, give us a call today and let us know what changes have been made since the last EPC. From this on of our team will be able to let you know if you are still likely to meet the criteria.

In simple terms, GBIS helps people save money, stay warm, and contribute to a greener planet by improving home insulation.
