With the Government’s ECO (Energy Company Obligation) scheme, it’s quite possible that you qualify for free loft insulation grants, which covers the entire cost of the installation.
On average, you can save up to £215 each year in a detached house, £130 in a semi-detached house, or up to £115 a year in a mid-terrace house. You may be wondering if your home can accommodate loft insulation to begin with.
This is quite easy to determine, actually:
• If your loft has less than 4” of insulation at the ground level, then you can benefit a lot by adding a layer to effectively stop the heat you’re currently losing.
• Also, if you’re living in a traditional loft which has a pitched roof and no rooms at all in the loft space, then you can definitely benefit from insulating it.
• There’s a good chance that you may already have some loft installation installed – if that’s the case, then you need to check the depth.
So, for example, if that depth is 4” or less, you should add another layer of insulation to bring it to the recommended level of 270mm or 10.6”.

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a Government energy efficiency scheme set up to help reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty. The scheme was launched in April 2013 and over time it has been amended once certain obligation were hit. The scheme aims to help low income and vulnerable households with a free grant so that they can afford new energy saving measures. These grants are completely free and not repaid under any circumstances. The value of Grant you receive is based on your property and what improvements can be made.
You need to be a customer of one of the medium to large energy providers in the UK. You will need to own or rent a home with an EPC rating of A to E. However, if you are renting, you will only get certain energy efficient grants and you will need permission from your landlord to obtain the energy measures entitled to you under the grant schemes. Social housing properties are not eligible to qualify for grants under ECO, however it is always best to contact your local council authority. Finally, you or your tenant will need to qualify for a range of UK benefits.
Ofgem is a non-ministerial government department and an independent national regulatory authority. Their objective is to protect the interest of the consumers and is responsible for delivering and regulating government schemes, such as this one.
