Which? response to launch of Great British Insulation Scheme

Rocio Concha, Which? Director of Policy and Advocacy, said:

"Which? research shows very few households are making insulation improvements to their homes and a key concern is affordability, so this government support to help eligible households reduce their energy bills and keep their homes warm during winter months is a step in the right direction.

"It is important that the government drives awareness of the support that is available, and ensures that eligible households can get insulation installed as soon as possible.

"Insulating a home can be complex and costly and the information and advice available to all households should improve so that people can feel confident making these vital changes to their homes. This should include information on how consumers can protect themselves from fraudsters and rogue traders who might take advantage of the scheme."
