The ECO4 scheme is the final phase of a multi-stage UK government initiative aimed at supporting low-income households and enhancing energy efficiency in homes. Launched in April 2022, it replaced its predecessor with the goal of improving energy efficiency in a greater number of UK households.
ECO 4 funding, or the Energy Company Obligation, is the latest version of a scheme designed to enhance the energy efficiency of homes in the UK. Administered by Ofgem and funded by major energy suppliers, its goal is to provide funding for energy efficiency improvements to homes with low or poor energy efficiency, specifically those rated band D or below on the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
Under the ECO scheme, a variety of improvements can be made, including:

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a government energy efficiency scheme in Great Britain aimed at reducing carbon emissions and addressing fuel poverty. Launched in April 2013, most of our customers qualify under the Home Cost Reduction Obligation (HHCRO). Under HHCRO, obligated suppliers must implement measures that enhance a household’s ability to heat their home. This includes actions such as boiler replacement or repair, cavity wall insulation, and loft insulation.
Many people recognize the scheme for its free boiler replacements. However, under ECO 4, a variety of energy-saving measures are available, including:

Funding for your home energy improvements is provided by major energy companies such as British Gas, SSE, Scottish Power, N-Power, and others. These companies have quotas for improving the energy performance of UK homes and face substantial fines if they fail to meet their targets. The aim is to reduce the average fuel consumption of UK households by making heating cheaper with new boilers and easier to maintain with better insulation.
The money for these improvements comes from the profits of these energy companies, which are funded by everyone’s monthly energy bills. It does not come directly from the government as programs like Universal Credit do.
For those using oil, LPG, or electric heating, we offer renewable energy systems such as air source heat pumps and solar PV panels.
We provide services in England, Scotland, and Wales.
