Council Tax Rebate Scheme
We are committed to working with local authorities to help residents save energy and money as well as helping the environment by improving home energy efficiency. One of the ways we are doing this is through the Council Tax Rebate scheme .
Each household who invests in home insulation from British Gas under this scheme will receive a rebate or cash back of up to £125 from their local authority1 and could see energy savings of around £1153 a year on your energy bills with cavity wall and £1503 with loft insulation.

3Source: Energy Saving Trust, 07/09. Based on gas-heated, 3 bed semi-detached property. For cavity wall, the savings figure assumes an average level of existing insulation. For loft, the savings figure assumes no existing insulation. Consumption based on industry average consumption assessed by BERR (17,616 kWh gas, 3,935 kWh electricity). Actual savings depend on type, age of home and individual circumstances. Not all homes are suitable for additional insulation. When updating existing insulation, savings will be reduced. Figures correct as at 07/09.
