Solar Power

If you haven’t already thought about solar power, it is a renewable and reliable energy source that can massively reduce your bills. Solar power uses the energy from the sun to create eco-friendly energy that can be used to make your home more efficient. It can also save you plenty of money on your bills too.

Cavity Wall Insulation

Opting for wall insulation can be a great way to conserve the energy and heat that is already in your home. Heat can be easily lost through uninsulated walls, so investing in quality insulation can go a long way in keeping your home nice and warm.

Air Source Heat Pump

Air source heat pumps are another alternative source that you can use to provide heat in your home. Many people decide to have an air source heat pump installed, and outdoor air is converted into heat energy. They are efficient and cheaper in the long run, despite the installation costs to begin with.

Electric Heating

Electric heating is far cheaper than its gas competitor. Heating upgrades from gas to electric can end up saving you a lot of money on your bills in the long run. They can be designed to fit your home specifically, making them a good investment.

UK Energy Management

These are just a few of the things you can look into to help you save money with the rise in energy bills. There are plenty of solutions, with many homes now deciding to install smart plugs, smart home controls or solar appliances.

To do this, for ECO and GBIS we would like to share your information with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) via Energy Saving Trust who will verify whether or not you are receiving the relevant benefits to be eligible for either scheme. To check the ownership of your property as registered with HM Land Registry, we need to submit your information through an online checking service provided by the Energy Saving Trust (EST). This will enable us to securely verify the property’s private ownership against the data on the register. EST will not use this data for any other purpose.

Please note that it is not possible for Energy Saving Trust or us, the company using this service, to see which benefits you are through this service. DWP will only confirm whether you are in receipt of a qualifying benefit, not which one. This will not have any impact on future benefit payments.

If you do not want us to share your data with DWP via Energy Saving Trust, you will be required to provide copies of documents that provide proof of the benefits you are in receipt of from the DWP.

If you go on to receive funding through ECO4 or GBIS your data may be audited by Ofgem and/or your Energy Supplier to ensure a valid eligibility check has been completed for you. For full information on what will happen to the data we collect about you, please refer to the privacy notices from your Energy Supplier and installer, Energy Saving Trust, DWP, and Ofgem.

You can contact us to withdraw your consent for us to share your data with DWP via Energy Saving Trust. If you withdraw consent, the collected data will continue to be processed, however no new data will be collected or used for further processing. We will be required to keep a record of any data already processed for the purposes of Ofgem audits however your data would only be audited in cases where you have received funding from ECO4 or GBIS. Data relating to ECO4 and GBIS eligibility checks will be retained until 30 September 2026 unless otherwise notified by Ofgem.
