Great British Energy is the UK's independent energy savings guide. We help homeowners across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland check government energy grant routes, compare solar panel quotes, and find funding options for heat pumps, insulation, and boiler upgrades. Our checker and quote comparison are free to use.
Not affiliated with gbe.gov.uk. We are an independent comparison service — not the government-owned Great British Energy company at gbe.gov.uk. Eligibility is not assured; scheme rules, property surveys and installer checks decide final support. Learn more about us →
UK energy grants available in 2026 include ECO4 (free insulation and boiler upgrades worth an average of £4,200 per household — Ofgem), the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (£7,500 towards heat pump installation — DESNZ), the Great British Insulation Scheme (GOV.UK referral service closed 31 March 2026), and the Warm Home Discount (£150 off electricity bills — Ofgem). According to DESNZ (2024), 13.4% of UK households — approximately 3.49 million homes in England — are in fuel poverty. The UK government has committed £13.2 billion to the Warm Homes Plan (Spring Budget 2026) to replace ECO4 from 2027.
