What is the ECO4 Scheme?

With the ECO4 Scheme, homeowners can access energy-efficient upgrades valued at over £30,000 at no cost. These enhancements not only promote environmental sustainability but also lead to substantial savings on energy bills while potentially boosting property value.

ECO4 represents the latest phase of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) initiative, a UK-based program mandated to curb carbon emissions and address fuel poverty. Through this initiative, major energy suppliers are mandated to facilitate carbon reduction and enhance energy efficiency in households across the nation.

These efforts encompass various services, such as installing insulation to minimize heat loss and subsequently reduce heating costs. Additionally, initiatives like replacing conventional gas boilers with air source heat pumps, which leverage ambient air to heat homes, offer significant energy bill reductions.
