First Time Central Heating
If your home has no central heating you may be eligible for first time central heating funding (FTCH) in line with the ECO4 scheme.
New Boiler Grants
At South Rings Energy Ltd we are committed to saving you money by installing the heating system that best suits your needs.
Solar Panel Grants
As part of the government Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, if you are a homeowner and receive a qualifying benefit you may be entitled to a solar panel UK government grant.
Home Insulation Grants
The most effective way of preventing heat loss in your home is with insulation in the walls, the loft or the roof. A well-insulated home could save you hundreds of pounds per year.
Air Source Heat Pumps
As part of the government Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme you may be entitled to a grant towards a highly efficient air source heat pump.
Park Home Heating Upgrade
Live in a park home? Funding is available to replace old, costly heating with a brand new air source heat pump system, radiators and hot water tank – completely free.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know
You may be eligible if you own your home or rent privately, someone in the household receives a qualifying benefit such as Universal Credit or Pension Credit, and your property has a low energy-efficiency (EPC) rating. Our team will confirm this for you free of charge.
For households that qualify under ECO4 or GBIS, the funding covers the cost of the approved measures. There is no cost to you for the eligibility check or the survey.
The Energy Company Obligation is a government scheme that places targets on the largest energy suppliers to help households install energy-efficiency measures, reduce carbon emissions and cut fuel bills. ECO4 is the current phase of the scheme.
Private tenants can often apply with their landlord’s permission, and landlords can apply on behalf of their tenants. Get in touch and we will explain what is needed.
Timescales vary, but many customers have a survey booked within a week and their measures installed shortly afterwards, subject to funding approval.
