Free Insulation and Heating Grants for Pensioners in the UK (Updated 2025)
As energy prices continue to rise, many pensioners in the UK face challenges in keeping their homes warm and energy-efficient. Recognizing this, the government has introduced various grants aimed at assisting older residents in improving their home insulation and heating systems. These initiatives not only help in reducing energy bills but also contribute to a more sustainable environment.
What Are Insulation and Heating Grants?
These are government-backed financial support programs designed to upgrade homes to modern energy standards. The main schemes we work under are:
- ECO4 (Energy Company Obligation) – Offers comprehensive energy efficiency improvements to low-income or vulnerable households.
- GBIS (Great British Insulation Scheme) – Targets quick, single insulation fixes for households not previously helped.
Whether it’s loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, or a new boiler, these grants make it all free through us.
