ECO 4 Funding
What is ECO4
The ECO4 scheme is the final part of an ongoing government initiated scheme to support low-income households and to create more energy efficient homes
ECO particularly aims to help vulnerable homes and property holders. It uses a whole house approach to lower fuel poverty via improved heating systems and insulation measures funded through the energy companies.It also encourages the installation of first time Central Heating and district heating connections.
What does ECO mean?
ECO means the Energy Company Obligation, of which there have been four parts.It is a policy that aims to make homes warmer and households’ emissions lower, In other words, ECO is all about energy saving.We are currently in the ECO 4 stage
Check your EPC rating
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that shows how energy-efficient a property is. It rates the property from A to G, where A is the most efficient and G is the least efficient. The EPC also provides recommendations on how to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the carbon emissions of the property.
The benefit of having a high EPC rating is that it can save money on energy bills, increase the value and attractiveness of the property, and help protect the environment.
Who is eligible for the ECO4 scheme?
If you are on qualifying benefits or on a low income and you’re a homeowner or a private tenant, you are likely to be eligible for support from energy suppliers via this scheme from April 2022.
