The first step is to complete the ECO4 application to make sure you can receive support through the ECO4 scheme. If you’re eligible for the scheme one of our partner installation teams can contact you to let you know how everything works, but we’ll always start with a survey to get information on your home. These surveys could take place online or in-person. 

The results of the survey help to confirm whether you’re eligible for ECO4 funding for energy efficient home improvements. 

During the survey, our team may chat through the options that could be available for you to improve your home’s energy performance in line with ECO4 guidelines. Once you’re happy with the upgrades proposed you can discuss with our installation partners to arrange a date for the upgrades to be made to your home. We’ll provide you with information about the upgrades you’ll receive and what is involved in fitting them. Upgrades such as air source heat pumps, may involve some short-term disruption in your home while they are being installed.

Each version of ECO, which lasts three to four years at a time, has a unique set of obligations and targets for energy suppliers to support people throughout the country. 

The ECO scheme is targeted at those most in need, households that aren’t able to invest in the upgrades needed to make their home warmer and more energy efficient. 

Once a household applies for the ECO scheme, and is eligible, the survey finds the measures that can be put in place to upgrade their homes. These include modern energy efficient systems such as air source heat pumps, sufficient external wall insulation, and even solar panels. 

For those that are eligible the ECO4 scheme offers energy efficient and lasting changes to a home, supplying benefits to those in the home now and in the future. 

The ECO4 scheme goes further than most forms of support. If your home is suitable, at no cost to you, our partner installation team can come along and upgrade the energy efficiency of your home.

This will help create positive changes for years to come. Your home, as a result, may be warmer, cheaper to heat and should have less impact on the environment.
