Free Insulation
Proper insulation can help reduce your energy costs significantly at a period when energy costs are increasing. It’s designed to keep warm air inside your house. This reduces overall energy usage and reduces your monthly energy bill. Unfortunately, efficient insulation doesn’t come cheap. The good news is that the government-led ECO programme has made it easier for eligible households to get free insulation.
The Energy Company Obligation programme is backed by the UK government and financed by the top energy companies in the country. It helps the vulnerable, low-income, and vulnerable UK residents to keep energy bills low by partially (or completely) covering the cost of insulation. In fact, over 2.4 million homes have benefited under the ECO programme since its launch in 2013. ECO4 is the scheme’s latest version and is expected to run until 2026.
Eligibility for Free Insulation
To qualify for free insulation, you must be living in Scotland, Wales, or England. Also, you must be owning a home or your landlord has permitted you to make significant changes to the property such as insulation installation. Another requirement is that you must be getting a means-tested benefit such as Tax Credits or Income support.
Those living in houses with poor energy efficiency can be considered eligible for the full-funded or partially-funded insulation installation. Remember, your house must have an energy efficiency band of D-G or even E-G if you live in social housing or you have rented private accommodation. It’s also possible for the local authorities to refer individuals living in cold homes or those vulnerable to fuel poverty.
Those who reside in Northern Ireland may be eligible for financial aid towards insulation installation, particularly wall, loft, and cavity insulation. These options are available under the Affordable Warmth Scheme. Remember, the ECO programme covers different forms of insulation, including solid wall insulation, cavity wall insulation, and loft insulation.
