Hundreds of thousands of households across the UK will get free home insulation, including loft and cavity wall insulation, under a three-year Government scheme announced today (November 28). The scheme, called ‘ECO+’, could knock around £310-a-year off energy bills for those eligible.
Unveiled by the Government's Business Secretary Grant Shapps, the scheme will run from April 2023 until March 2026. It will see free loft and cavity wall insulation being offered to eligible homes with a D or worse efficiency rating an average.
However, the Mirror has reported that the £1billion plan is thought to be worth a third of the £3bn called for by industry chiefs. Labour blasted it for helping a “tiny fraction” of those in the cost-of-living crisis.
