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 our council tax rebate scheme.

Each household who invests in home insulation from British Gas under this scheme will receive a rebate of up to £100 from their local authority* and could see energy savings of around £200 a year through installing loft and cavity wall insulation**.
