    Is External Insulation Worth It?

    Absolutely! Adding external insulation is growing in popularity for good reason – it offers many benefits, including:

    • Improved home energy efficiency
    • Money saved on energy bills thanks to enhanced thermal performance
    • Reduced carbon emissions to help the environment

    There are additional advantages as well. But a key benefit when weighing external insulation’s value is the monthly energy bill savings. Over time, these add up to cover the installation cost. And with external wall insulation grants, you may even get it free – putting more money back in your pocket each month.

    External wall insulation grants change frequently, but the team at Apex Eco will keep you updated. If you’re unsure if the info below is current, contact us – our customer service representatives can discuss grants you may qualify for and any updates to the programs listed here.

    External Insulation Grant and Funding Options

    • Great British Insulation Scheme
    • ECO4
    • LA Flex
    • 0% VAT

    What Is The Great British Insulation Scheme 2023?

    The Great British Insulation Scheme, formerly known as ECO+, starts summer 2023 through March 2026. It provides £1 billion in funding for the most energy inefficient British homes to receive free external wall insulation. To qualify, though, you have to meet a few requirements.

    The Great British Insulation Scheme: How Do You Qualify?

    The scheme’s goal is insulating the least efficient British homes. This assists vulnerable households in controlling rising energy bills, lowering home emissions, and improving Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings.

    To qualify for the scheme:

    • Your home needs an EPC rating of D-G, AND
    • Be in council tax band A-D in England or A-E in Scotland/Wales

    OR

    • Get means-tested benefits, AND
    • Have an EPC rating of D or below

    If you meet the criteria, you may receive an external insulation grant through the scheme.

    How Much Can I Save By Insulating My External Walls?

    The UK government estimates households in the least efficient homes could save about £300 to £400 per year on energy bills with external insulation alone. The grant amount for the insulation under the Great British Insulation Scheme is decided case-by-case. Some may obtain a grant fully covering the insulation cost, making it free. Others may obtain a grant largely covering the insulation cost.

      What Is The ECO4 Scheme For External Wall Insulation?

      You may have heard of ECO4, which provides external wall insulation grants. Introduced in April 2022 until March 2026, it offers £4 billion for eco home improvements across poorly performing UK homes energy-wise. However, eligibility criteria must be met for the external wall or solid wall insulation grants.

      How Much Will I Save With External Wall Insulation?

      Like the Great British Insulation Scheme, ECO4 aims to aid low income households in inefficient homes, but each scheme has different criteria.

      To qualify for ECO4:

      • Get government benefits OR someone in your household/a tenant does
      • Have an inefficient D-G energy rated heating system
      • Get child benefit AND household income is below a threshold

      Applicable Government Benefits

      • Income-Based Jobseekers Allowance
      • Income-Related Employment & Support Allowance
      • Income Support
      • Pension Credit Guarantee
      • Working Tax Credit
      • Child Tax Credits
      • Universal Credit
      • Housing Benefit
      • Pension Credit Savings

      Child Benefit Household Income Thresholds

      If receiving child benefit and total household income is under the thresholds below, should qualify for ECO4 external wall insulation funding:

       

      1 Child

      2 Children

      3 Children

      4+ Children

      Single-Parent Households

      LA Flex As An Alternative To Grants for Solid/External Wall Insulation

      Some of you might be surprised to learn that there are still insulation grant choices available to you even if you are not eligible for one under the ECO4 Scheme or the Great British Insulation Scheme. 

      Under ECO4, LA Flex, also known as the Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Scheme, is a program that functions somewhat differently when it comes to qualifying requirements. 

      To better assist homes in their community that require assistance, local governments and councils have the authority to broaden the eligibility requirements under LA Flex. Of course, they continue to target the most vulnerable, low-income households with the lowest thermally efficient homes, but with LA Flex, they can assist more of those homes that would otherwise be overlooked.

        External Wall Insulation Grants FAQs:

        How much does it cost to insulate the outside of a house UK?

        It’s hard to pinpoint exact external wall insulation costs since each house differs, with the final price affected by:

        • House type: Insulating a detached home costs significantly more than a mid terrace.
        • House size: The larger the property, the higher insulation costs.
        • Insulation board finish: Boards commonly used in the UK come in various finishes that may cost more depending on choice.

        On average, expect to pay between £6,000 and £20,000 for full external wall insulation installation.

        Usually no, unless your house is in a conservation area, is listed, or located in an area of outstanding natural beauty. If uncertain, consult one of our experts who can provide guidance on next steps.

        External or solid wall insulation typically lasts approximately 30 years without problems.

        The application process differs for each grant, so each requires individual handling. Fortunately, our expert customer service team can provide the latest guidance. Complete our quick form today to see if you qualify for insulation grants, and if so, we’ll advise on next steps to access them.

        No, grants do not require repayment, so any money awarded for insulation costs does not need to be paid back at any time. This means you may have zero upfront expenses for external wall insulation.
