ECO4 is the latest iteration of the UK’s Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, which has been in place since 2013. Covering the period from April 2022 to March 2026, ECO4 focuses on improving the energy efficiency of the least efficient homes in the UK, specifically those with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D or lower.
The scheme provides funding for various energy-saving measures, including:
ECO4 offers these improvements at little to no cost for eligible households. The scheme is particularly aimed at vulnerable and low-income households, with the goal of reducing fuel poverty and supporting the government’s broader commitment to enhance energy efficiency across all UK housing by 2035.
To qualify for the ECO4 scheme, applicants must reside in social or private housing and receive one of the following benefits:
Additionally, homeowners must have properties with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D, E, F, or G.
The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS), also known as ECO+, aims to enhance the energy efficiency of homes in Great Britain by offering insulation upgrades.
Backed by a £1 billion investment, this initiative is expected to benefit around 300,000 households by the end of March 2026.
The scheme helps reduce heating bills by providing free or subsidized insulation measures, including:
To be eligible for the Great British Insulation Scheme, homes must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D to G and fall within specific Council Tax bands (A-D in England and A-E in Scotland and Wales).
The scheme targets both low-income households and general groups, including those who claim various state benefits or live in energy-inefficient properties.
Both homeowners and tenants can benefit from these energy efficiency improvements; however, tenants must obtain permission from their landlords.
The process involves an assessment by the energy supplier to determine the most suitable insulation measures. Installation costs may be fully or partially covered, depending on specific circumstances.
Local Authority Eligibility Flexibility (LA Flex) is a component of the government’s ECO scheme aimed at assisting individuals across the UK who are living in fuel poverty, helping them avoid the hardships of a cold home. Even if you do not receive means-tested benefits, you may still qualify for support toward the costs of installing loft, underfloor, and cavity wall insulation, as well as other energy efficiency improvements.
