Why free underfloor insulation and free cavity wall insulation

Insulating your home is one of the most effective ways to lower the cost of your energy bills. Yet many people aren’t aware that they could be eligible for free underfloor insulation in their home.

To check if you are eligible for 100% funding on insulation grants, take a look at the list below to see if any of the criteria apply to you:

This is thanks to the ECO scheme, which legally requires the main energy suppliers to install energy efficient tech into UK domestic households, including underfloor insulation.

Because this is a legal requirement, if the energy supplier falls short of their obligations they could face significant fines. As such, some energy providers are lowering the criteria for free loft insulation in order to meet their targets.

This means that many households around the UK are now able to receive free insulation measures. One of the only clear limitations on the scheme is that you must own the property or rent it and have the landlord’s permission to undertake the work.

What free insulation can I get?

By replacing your old or inefficient boiler with a new A-rated one, you could reduce your energy bills by as much as £300 per year. And if you receive the correct combination of benefits, you could have your old gas, oil or LPG boiler replaced for free thanks to the ECO boiler grant scheme.

Free cavity insulation with the ECO scheme

If you’re on a standard tariff at the price cap level with one of the Big Six energy suppliers, you could save yourself as much as £300 per year on your bills.

Free Cavity Wall Insulation

Most post-1920s homes feature a cavity between walls, which can be filled with insulating materials to improve energy efficiency.

Cavity wall insulation is one of the most effective ways to cut your energy costs, but it can also be expensive. However, this means that energy suppliers are often more willing to offer free cavity wall insulation as it makes it easier for them to meet their targets with less administration costs.

Issues such as damp will need to be resolved before any free cavity wall insulation can be offered, and if you’re in a flat then permission will need to be sought from any adjoining households before the work can get underway. Apply for free Cavity Wall Insulation.

Why is my replacement boiler free?

EU guidelines mean that the UK has very significant targets to reduce the carbon footprint of its housing stock. The Energy Company Obligation, or ECO, is playing a huge role in helping us meet these targets. This is partly thanks to the Green Tax.

The Green Tax is a small percentage built into everybody’s bills. This money is controlled by the Big Six energy suppliers who are obliged by the Government to fund the installation of free boilers and insulation in low-income households.

Reduce your energy bills for free

Let’s say your current boiler is only 65% efficient. This means that for every £1 you spend on your heating, 35p is going to waste. By comparison, modern boilers are more than 90% efficient, so less than 10p is being wasted for every £1 you spend.

By replacing your old or inefficient boiler with a new A-rated one, you could reduce your energy bills by as much as £300 per year. And if you receive the correct combination of benefits, you could have your old gas, oil or LPG boiler replaced for free thanks to the ECO boiler grant scheme.

Boiler Recycling
The boiler scrappage scheme is no longer available and applications are closed. This scheme was originally designed to give customers cash-back for replacing their old boilers. If you claim benefits, you now have the opportunity to apply for the ECO scheme instead. If you don’t claim benefits, try paying monthly for your new boiler.

How much does a new boiler cost?
The type of installation you need dictates the cost of your new boiler. Typical combi boiler swaps or regular or system boilers usually cost no more than £1,500 - 2,500. More complicated conversions could cost £3,000+.
