What is the ECO4 scheme?
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme is a government scheme which takes a whole house, insulation first approach to reduce fuel poverty across England, Wales and Scotland. After insulation has been completed, any further savings that can be made by upgrading heating can also be completed through the scheme.
The scheme is funded by the largest utility companies in the UK and we work with them to provide access to this free funding, helping to reduce your fuel bills, making your home warmer and reducing condensation, damp and mould which is associated with poorly insulated and heated homes.
Not every household can apply and there are certain criteria which have to be met in order to qualify for the scheme. The ECO grants are not repayable and for most installs will cover the whole cost of the installation. If you are not eligible for the ECO4 scheme, you may be eligible for the Great British Insulation scheme.
What is the Great British Insulation Scheme?
The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) is available to all households with a council tax band of A-D in England or A-E in Wales and Scotland.
The Great British Insulation Scheme provides for a single insulation measure to be completed on your property, such as filling the Cavity Wall, installing Loft Insulation or installing Internal Wall Insulation.
If you are a home owner, you will be able to claim any of the insulation measures available and receive heating controls if you do not have a full set. Tenants may receive all measures, however, to receive Loft Insulation or Cavity Wall Insulation you should be in receipt of an ECO4 qualifying benefit.
