Stay Warm and Save More: How the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) Can Transform Your Home This Winter

As winter approaches, keeping your home warm without breaking the bank becomes a top priority for many households. The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) offers homeowners and tenants across the UK the chance to make their homes more energy efficient — and Elite Energy is here to help you take full advantage of it.

What Is the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS)?

GBIS is a government-backed initiative designed to help households install insulation at little or no cost. By reducing heat loss, insulation not only keeps your home warmer in the winter but also lowers your energy bills all year round.

Under the GBIS, you may qualify for support if:

  • Your property has a low EPC rating (typically D or below).

  • You’re in Council Tax bands A–D (A–E in Scotland).

  • You meet specific income or vulnerability criteria.

With Elite Energy, the process is simple, we handle your eligibility checks, grant applications, and installation so you can enjoy a warmer, more efficient home without the hassle.

Why Insulation Matters More Than Ever

Did you know that up to 35% of heat is lost through uninsulated walls and roofs? Without proper insulation, your heating system has to work harder, wasting energy and increasing bills.

By upgrading your home’s insulation, you’ll:

  • Keep more heat inside for longer.

  • Cut energy consumption and save money.

  • Improve comfort with fewer draughts and cold spots.

  • Boost your EPC rating, increasing your property’s value.

  • Reduce carbon emissions, helping the UK meet its Net Zero goals.

At Elite Energy, we specialise in loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and Internal Wall Insulation, ensuring your home is protected where it matters most.

Other Grants to Consider

While GBIS focuses on home insulation, it’s not the only way to make your home energy efficient. Elite Energy also helps households access other major funding opportunities:

1. ECO4 Scheme

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) helps low-income and vulnerable households upgrade inefficient heating systems and insulation. You may be eligible for a free boiler replacement, insulation improvements, or even a full home energy retrofit.

2. Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)

The BUS provides grants to install low-carbon heating systems such as air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps. If you’re looking to make a long-term investment in clean, efficient heating, this could be the perfect next step.

Together, these programmes make it easier than ever to create a home that’s warmer, greener, and more affordable to run.
