What Are the GBIS and ECO4 Schemes?
The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) and the ECO4 Scheme are UK Government-backed programmes designed to help households across Scotland and the wider UK cut energy bills and reduce heat loss through proper home insulation.
GBIS, formerly known as ECO+, focuses on delivering free insulation upgrades to low-income and vulnerable households.
ECO4 is a broader scheme that includes insulation as well as heating upgrades, boiler replacements, and more — helping improve the overall energy efficiency of homes that qualify.
✅ Free loft insulation
✅ Free cavity wall insulation
✅ Internal and solid wall insulation
✅ Room in Roof Insulation
✅ Heating system improvements (via ECO4)
Both GBIS and ECO4 are fully funded government insulation schemes, which means there are no hidden costs, no repayments, and no catches — if you qualify, the entire cost of installation is covered.
Who Qualifies For a Free Insulation Grant in Scotland?
To qualify for Free Insulation in Scotland, you must meet the eligibility criteria of either the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) or the ECO4 Scheme — depending on your household type and financial circumstances.
- You own the property you live in.
- Your property is in Council Tax Band A to E.
- Your Home has a low EPC (Energy Performance Report) rating of D, E, F or G.
- You must have landlord's permission
- You must be receiving means-tested benefits
- Your rental property should also be in Council Tax Band A to E and have an EPC Rating of D-G.
You’re likely to qualify if:
You may be eligible for a 100% free insulation grant through government-backed schemes such as the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) or ECO4, depending on your household circumstances.
- You own your home or rent with landlord permission.
- Your home is in Council Tax Band A to E.
- You have a low EPC rating (typically D–G)
If you’re a homeowner, you may still qualify even without benefits — especially if your property is energy inefficient and falls within the eligible council tax bands.
However, if you’re a tenant, receiving a qualifying benefit is mandatory to access the grant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to your most common questions here.
Who is eligible for a free insulation grant in Scotland?
You may qualify if you are a homeowner or private tenant living in Council Tax Band A to E. Homeowners don’t need to be on benefits, but private tenants must be receiving means-tested benefits and have landlord permission.
Is this really 100% free? Are there any hidden costs?
How long does it take from application to installation?
You may qualify if you are a homeowner or private tenant living in Council Tax Band A to E. Homeowners don’t need to be on benefits, but private tenants must be receiving means-tested benefits and have landlord permission. Your property should also have an EPC rating of D–G.
What types of insulation are available through this scheme?
We currently provide fully funded grants for:
- Loft insulation
- Cavity wall insulation
- Internal solid wall insulation
These are based on what’s suitable for your home after a free energy survey.
What is an EPC rating and how do I know mine?
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) shows how energy-efficient your home is. Homes rated D, E, F, or G are typically eligible for the GBIS grant. You can check your home’s EPC rating using the official EPC register.
Can I choose what type of insulation I get?
Your home energy surveyor will recommend the best type based on your property’s structure and needs. While you can’t “choose” directly, you’ll only receive insulation that suits your home — and it’s all fully funded.
Do I need to provide any documents or paperwork?
What is the GBIS and how is it different from ECO4?
The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) is a UK Government-backed program focused specifically on insulation-only upgrades, unlike ECO4, which includes heating and boiler measures. GBIS is faster, simpler, and perfect for homes that need insulation improvements only.
I’m a pensioner. Can I get this grant if I’m not on benefits?
Yes — if you’re a homeowner over 70 years old, you may still be eligible even if you’re not on benefits, as long as your property is in Council Tax Band A to E and has a low EPC rating.
