6 Common Myths About GBIS – Busted by Elite Energy
Myth 1: “It’s only for people on benefits.”
Fact: While certain benefits do improve eligibility, GBIS is also available to low-income households that meet other criteria, like having a low EPC rating or living in the least energy-efficient homes. Even if you’re not receiving benefits, you could still qualify.
Myth 2: “The application process is complicated.”
Fact: Not with us. At Elite Energy, it takes under 2 minutes to apply online, and we take care of the rest, including organising your free home energy survey. No paperwork headaches. No chasing.
Myth 3: “I’ll end up with a big bill later.”
Fact: Absolutely not. If you’re eligible, the insulation is 100% free, funded by energy suppliers as part of their government-mandated obligations. We don’t charge a penny after the work is complete. No hidden fees. No catches.
Myth 4: “It’ll take ages to get installed.”
Fact: Once approved, we aim to complete most installations within a few weeks of your survey. We keep you updated every step of the way. Fast, reliable, and stress-free.
Myth 5: “Insulation won’t make much difference.”
Fact: Proper insulation can cut energy bills by up to £300 a year, sometimes more. It also helps reduce condensation and keeps your home warmer for longer. It’s one of the most effective upgrades you can make.
Myth 6: “Schemes like this are too good to be true.”
Fact: We get it, it sounds too good to be true. But GBIS is a legitimate government-backed initiative and we’re a TrustMark-registered installer. We’ve already helped thousands of households make their homes warmer for free.
