The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS), formerly known as ECO+, is a UK government initiative designed to improve the energy efficiency of homes across England, Scotland, and Wales. Administered by Ofgem, the scheme aims to reduce carbon emissions, tackle fuel poverty, and help households lower their energy bills by providing insulation improvements to the least energy-efficient homes.
Proper insulation is crucial for maintaining a comfortable home environment and reducing energy consumption. By preventing heat loss through walls, roofs, and floors, insulation helps keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, leading to significant savings on energy bills.
