Funding and Government Subsidies
The Government appreciates the necessity of upgrading the nation’s housing stock if we are to achieve our Net Zero ambitions. To encourage uptake of insulation and other energy efficiency measures, there are financial incentives available to homeowners. The main current scheme is the Great British Insulation Scheme. This is especially targeted at low-income households with less efficient housing.

Anecdotally (and in our own experience) accessing government support for energy efficiency upgrades can be complicated, leading to poor uptake. If you have successfully made use of this scheme or any others we’d like to hear your story - please Contact Us.
