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

If you meet the criteria, you may receive an external insulation grant through the scheme.
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.
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.
Like the Great British Insulation Scheme, ECO4 aims to aid low income households in inefficient homes, but each scheme has different criteria.
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 | £19,800 | £24,600 | £29,400 | £34,200 |
Two-Parent Households | £27,300 | £32,100 | £36,900 | £41,700 |
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.
It’s hard to pinpoint exact external wall insulation costs since each house differs, with the final price affected by:
