Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ECO4 grant and how does it work?

ECO4 (Energy Company Obligation 4) is a UK Government scheme that requires large energy suppliers to fund free energy efficiency improvements for eligible households. There is no cost, no loan and no repayment - the upgrades are completely free.

Who qualifies for the ECO4 grant?

You need to meet at least one individual criterion (household income below £31,000, or receiving qualifying benefits) and at least one property criterion (old boiler, solid walls, electric or non-gas heating, or flat roof). Tenants can also apply with landlord consent.

Is the ECO4 grant really free?

Yes - completely free. No hidden cost, no loan, nothing to repay. The scheme is funded by energy suppliers as part of a legal obligation set by the Government.

Can I get solar panels through ECO4?

Yes, solar panels can be included as part of an ECO4 upgrade package, subject to your property survey and eligibility assessment.

Can I get a free boiler through ECO4?

Yes - if you have a boiler over 10 years old or a non-condensing model, you may qualify for a free replacement under ECO4.

What if I'm a tenant?

Private tenants can apply for ECO4 upgrades. Your landlord will need to give consent before work begins. We can help facilitate this conversation if needed.

How long does the process take?

After your eligibility is confirmed, a free survey is usually booked within 48 hours. Installation typically takes 4-6 weeks depending on the measures approved and installer availability in your area.

Do I have to be a homeowner?

No - both homeowners and private tenants can apply. Social housing tenants are not eligible under ECO4 but may qualify under other schemes.

Will installation disrupt my home?

Our MCS-certified installers work efficiently to minimise disruption. Most insulation jobs are completed within a day. Heat pump installations typically take 1-2 days. Your property will be left clean and tidy.

Why should I apply now?

ECO4 funding is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Budget availability varies by region and can be exhausted. Applying now ensures your place in the queue while funding remains available.
