Free Home Insulation

Are you eligible for free insulation?

If you or someone in your household is a British Gas customer you could be entitled to FREE home insulation1. As long as your home is no larger than an average sized 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. If you live in an average sized 3 bed semi-detached property you could save you around £110* a year on your energy bills with cavity wall insulation and around £145* with loft insulation.
