Slash Your Energy Bills – ECO4 Grants Plus Insulation & Solar with Goldstar Energy Solutions Ltd

1. Why Now Is the Time to Act on UK Energy Cost Inflation

With rising energy bills and climate targets tightening, making your home more efficient is both financially and environmentally vital. Government warm‑home grants are ending in March 2026 — and Goldstar Energy Solutions is here to help ensure you don’t miss out.

2. ECO4 Grants + Insulation: A Winning Combo

• ECO4 boiler and heat pump grants provide up to £7,500 in funding — allowing you to install low-carbon heating with no upfront cost.
• Simultaneously, the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) can cover the full cost of insulation upgrades like cavity wall, loft, or underfloor insulation in homes with EPC D–G or council tax bands A–D/E depending on region.

Choosing both programmes together can have a huge impact — reducing heat loss from your boiler and improving your home’s thermal envelope.

3. Typical Savings with Home Efficiency Measures

According to Energy Saving Trust, homeowners can expect to save annually:

• Cavity wall insulation: £240
• Loft insulation: up to £230
• Modern heating controls: £110
• Solid wall insulation: £330
• Floor insulation: £70

Combined with a new high-efficiency heating system covered by ECO4, the annual savings can exceed several hundred pounds per year.
