The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) is a UK government scheme designed to help households become more energy-efficient and reduce carbon emissions. It focuses on supporting low-income and vulnerable households, offering grants for crucial home improvements. This initiative not only helps families save money on their energy bills but also contributes to a greener future.
What is ECO4?
ECO4 is the latest phase of the ECO scheme, placing obligations on energy suppliers to deliver energy efficiency measures to domestic properties. It aims to tackle fuel poverty and improve the energy performance of homes across the UK.
Who is eligible?
Eligibility for ECO4 grants is primarily based on receiving certain benefits and living in a property with a low Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating.
How to apply:
The process usually involves contacting your energy supplier or a participating installer. They will assess your eligibility and the suitability of your home for the ECO4 measures. Here’s a general outline:
- Complete your application: Reach out to us to inquire about ECO4 grants.
- Home assessment: A qualified surveyor will conduct an assessment of your property to determine which measures are appropriate.
- Installation: If your home is eligible, our approved installer will carry out the work.
Benefits of ECO4:
- Reduced energy bills: Improved insulation and a new boiler can significantly lower your energy costs.
- Warmer, more comfortable home: Enjoy a more comfortable living environment year-round.
- Reduced carbon footprint: Contribute to a greener future by lowering your home’s carbon emissions.
- Improved property value: Energy-efficient homes are often more attractive to buyers.
