Insulation Quality Checks

At Stellar Energy, we pride ourselves in our Trustmark accredited, high-quality insulation that keeps homes warm and energy-efficient. However, Ofgem and Trustmark, the governing body and scheme quality regulators, have found cases from other installers as of late that have not met industry standards. If you’ve had insulation installed by another company, and have concerns about its quality, we’re here to help.

Who Is Affected?

If your insulation was installed through one of the following government schemes, it’s important to check that the work meets standards:
– Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS)
– Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) (since April 2022)
Ofgem will send a letter if your property is part of a quality review. If no issues are found, no further action will be needed. However, if improvements are required, steps will be taken to correct them at no cost to you.

Why Quality Insulation Matters

Properly installed insulation provides long-term savings on energy bills, reduces heat loss, and enhances comfort. At Stellar Energy, we take pride in ensuring all installations meet the highest industry standards, preventing common issues such as damp or poor energy efficiency.

Steps to Take If You Receive a Letter

If you receive a letter from Ofgem regarding the quality of your insulation, here’s what to do:
– Read the Letter Carefully – It will outline whether your insulation needs to be checked.
– Inform Your Landlord (If You’re a Tenant) – The letter will be sent to the property where the work was done. If you rent, notify your landlord as they may need to arrange access for further checks or repairs.
– Prepare for a Quality Check – Your insulation will be reviewed by qualified professionals. This might involve document checks or an on-site inspection.

Who Will Contact You?

As part of the quality check, you may be contacted by one or more of the following organizations:
– Ofgem: The administrator for GBIS and ECO4.
– TrustMark: The government-endorsed quality assurance body.
– A Certification Body: The organization overseeing your installer’s work.

What Happens If Issues Are Found?
If your insulation is found to need improvement:
– Your original installer will be required to fix the issue.
– You will not pay for any corrective work.
– All communications will include your Unique Measure Reference (found in your letter) to verify legitimacy.
