A Brief About the Scheme

Currently, the ECO4 has upgraded over 350,000 homes, saving households hundreds of pounds annually. The upcoming ECO5 scheme, hopefully launching in 2026, prioritizes renewable energy by offering air-to-water heat pumps and free solar panels with radiators. It expands eligibility to include non-benefit households struggling with heating costs, ensuring broader access to energy-saving solutions while advancing the UK’s sustainable energy goals.

Under the ECO4 scheme, more than 100,000 boiler replacements were made. 33,400 heat pumps installed with solar panels supporting the use of renewable energy sources in British homes. Moreover, around 156,000 loft, cavity wall and external/internal wall insulation upgrade ensured energy efficiency, therefore significantly reducing heat loss from houses to support a greener and more sustainable future.

Does Your Property Have Poor EPC Rating?

Apply If You are Living in a Home with Poor EPC Rating

If a homeowner or private tenant lives in a property having EPC below D, a heating upgrade is inevitable. A poor Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating means a lot of heat loss, increase in annual energy bill costs, cause massive pollution to the environment, and may leave you out of budget. But if you’re a benefit recipient, you can upgrade your current heating system & insulation for free.

Apply If You have Any of These Heating System

Only old heating systems that consume more energy than condensing gas boilers are replaceable under these ECO4 grants. If you use any of the below mentioned heating systems, you should confidently apply for free replacement.
