'Households could save up to £400 a year on energy bills under a new means-tested scheme to insulate more than 300,000 of Great Britain’s draughtiest homes.

The government is spending £1bn on grants for homes that have low energy efficiency ratings and are in lower council tax bands.

The Great British insulation scheme, which was announced in November and is up and running, will offer upgrades – such as roof, loft or cavity wall insulation – that could cut energy costs by between £300 to £400 a year.
