Free Home Insulation

Are you eligible for free insulation?

Here to help

If you or someone in your household is a British Gas customer you could be entitled to FREE1 home insulation. As long as your home is no larger than a 4 bedroom detached and if you or someone in your household is either in receipt of qualifying benefits or over 70, then you may qualify. Which could save you around £115* a year on your energy bills with cavity wall insulation and around £150* with loft insulation.

At British Gas we understand that energy bills can be a burden, and if your home is not insulated you could be wasting £1 in every £4** you spend on heating your home.

All you need to do is call British Gas and one of our energy experts will come to your home and carry out a FREE no obligation survey.
