What Is GBIS?
The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) is a UK government initiative designed to help households improve their energy efficiency through the installation of insulation. The scheme aims to make homes warmer, reduce energy bills, and lower carbon emissions by offering a range of insulation measures at no cost or at a reduced rate for eligible households.
GBIS typically focuses on providing insulation for various parts of a home, such as lofts, cavity walls, and internal walls. The program targets a wide range of households, including those that may be struggling with high energy costs or living in poorly insulated properties. By improving insulation, the scheme not only enhances comfort but also contributes to broader environmental goals by reducing the energy demand and associated greenhouse gas emissions.
Thanks to The Great British Insulation Scheme it is now easier than ever to be eligible for free insulation.
