Applying for Government Schemes

If you’re looking to make your home more energy efficient with the help of a government scheme, you might be wondering where to start. From eligibility criteria to the application process, we’ve answered the most common questions to help you navigate your options with ease. Let’s get you on the right track to accessing the support available!

To apply for the ECO or GBIS scheme, visit the Utilita Home website and complete an eligibility check and application form. A Utilita Home representative will contact you within two working days.

No documents are required initially. Utilita works with the Energy Saving Trust to verify eligibility, minimising paperwork. Once approved, you’ll need to provide a utility bill and proof of property ownership or tenancy.

6-8 weeks, depending on factors such as planning permission requirements or Distribution Network Operator (DNO) approval for heat pump installations.

No, Utilita provides fully funded installations for eligible applicants under the ECO scheme.

The application helps assess your property’s energy needs and confirms eligibility for improvements under the scheme.

Yes, GBIS is available to both private homeowners and tenants in social or private rented housing, provided they meet the eligibility criteria.

No, only one scheme will be used per application. However, Utilita Home Advisors assess both options to ensure the best fit for your property.

Common reasons for rejection include:

  • The resident does not meet eligibility criteria.
  • The property does not meet the requirements for the scheme.
