ECO4

The ECO4 UK Government funding scheme designed to help households become more energy efficient. There are grants available to pay for new boilers, renewable heating systems and improved home insulation.

Some households qualify for free upgrades to heating and boilers, and this means a warmer and more energy-efficient home with lower monthly utility bills.

What Is Covered under ECO4 Scheme?

ECO 4 uses a ‘Whole-House’ approach, assessing what your home actually needs to improve its energy performance by TWO bands (Eg if your current EPC is an E, we must install enough measures to score your property up to a C using specialist tools and calculators.
