The Green Britain Incentive Scheme (GBIS) is a government initiative aimed at improving energy efficiency in homes. It provides funding for eco-friendly home improvements like insulation, heating upgrades, and renewable energy installations to help reduce energy consumption and b
ECO4 funding covers a variety of energy efficiency measures under the green energy grant, including insulation (loft, cavity wall, underfloor, internal wall), air source heat pumps, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, energy-efficient boiler upgrades, and more.
Eligibility for ECO4/GBIS is determined by factors such as council tax band area (bands: A – E), household income (under £31,000), receipt of certain benefits (e.g., Pension Credit, Universal Credit), and the current energy efficiency rating of the property. Homeowners and tenants in fuel-poor areas or with inefficient heating systems may qualify. Check your eligibility with our form – click here.
Once eligibility is confirmed, an initial survey of the property is conducted to assess its specific energy efficiency needs. Based on this survey, an installation plan is created, and the necessary measures are installed by qualified professionals.
Benefits include reduced energy bills, improved home comfort, lower carbon emissions, and increased property value. The green energy grants also helps in meeting modern energy efficiency standards.
The ECO4 scheme is available for various property types, including those with solid walls, hard-to-treat cavity walls, and inefficient heating systems. Both homeowners and tenants in eligible properties can benefit from the scheme. Click here – to check your eligibility.
