Launched in March 2023, the scheme is designed to help households reduce their energy bills and tackle fuel poverty.
Key Features of GBIS
ELIGIBILITY
The scheme is available to homeowners, landlords, and tenants (both private renters and those renting from housing associations) in England, Scotland, and Wales. To qualify, homes must have an
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D to G and
be within specific Council Tax bands (A-D in England, A-E in Scotland and Wales)
TYPES OF INSULATION
GBIS supports the installation of various types of insulation, including:
Cavity Wall Insulation
Solid Wall Insulation (internal or external)
Loft Insulation (for both flat and pitched roofs)
Underfloor Insulation
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
The scheme provides free or subsidised insulation to eligible households. The government has allocated £1 billion to support around 300,000 households with the cost of installing new home insulation. The scheme is scheduled to run until March 2026
APPLICATION PROCESS
Homeowners and tenants can apply for support through the GBIS Accredited Installer like Insulation Direct.
Landlords must give permission before any insulation can be installed in rented properties.
COMPLEMENTARY SCHEME
GBIS complements the Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) scheme, which takes a 'whole house' approach to energy efficiency improvements4
While ECO4 focuses on comprehensive home improvements, GBIS primarily delivers single insulation measures

What is your
EPS rating?
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating is a measure of how energy-efficient a property is. The rating is based on the difference in expected annual energy bills between the starting SAP rating of the domestic premises (pre-retrofit) and its finishing SAP rating (post-retrofit)
The EPC rating ranges from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The average rating for a property in England and Wales is D.
The ECO4 scheme requires that properties have an EPC rating of E, F, or G to be eligible for funding.
