What is the ECO4 scheme?
The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) is a government scheme that helps homeowners improve the energy efficiency of their homes. If your home has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of E or lower, you may be eligible for free energy efficiency upgrades.
These upgrades can include insulation, heating, and hot water improvements. They can help you save money on your energy bills and make your home more comfortable.

Household Eligibility
Receiving Qualifying Benefits: You must be receiving one or more of the qualifying benefits, which include, but are not limited to, Income-based Jobseekers Allowance, Income Support, Income-related Employment and Support Allowance, Pension Credit, and Universal Credit.
LA FLEX: If you don't receive qualifying benefits, you may still be eligible under the LA FLEX scheme, which considers factors like household income and vulnerability.
Health Conditions: Certain health conditions aggravated by living in a cold home (like respiratory or cardiovascular conditions) may also qualify you for ECO4, particularly under the LA FLEX scheme.
