Government backed schemes such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and the Energy Company Obligation exist to help households cut their energy use, lower their bills and reduce carbon emissions. What is available changes over time, so we confirm exactly what you can access before anything is booked in.

ECO

ECO stands for Energy Company Obligation and basically outlines strict targets from the government, placed on the largest fuel suppliers.

This has resulted in the development of home improvement grants for energy funding. These grants are a lifeline to many and mean that people can implement energy efficiency measures in homes across the UK.

Depending upon your home and your benefit status, this may mean that you could be entitled to a grant towards the cost of a new A-rated boiler or insulation to keep your home warm under the energy grant scheme.

As part of the government Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, if you receive a qualifying benefit and your boiler has an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating of D, E, F, or G you may be entitled to a home improvement grant towards a brand new A-rated boiler. The home improvement grants are funded by UK energy companies and don’t need to be repaid. Even if you are not the recipient of the benefits mentioned below you may still be eligible for other government funding such as a Green Homes Grant so don’t delay.

Do you receive one of the following benefits?

If you receive one of these benefits you may qualify for free energy efficiency measures for your home.

The ECO grant scheme has been rolled out by the government in different phases. ECO3 ran from 3rd December 2018 and ended in March 2022.
ECO4 is the fourth phase of the government’s Energy Company Obligation (ECO) targets. It ran from 1st April 2022 and was scheduled to end on 31st March 2026, so funding under it is limited and we will confirm exactly what is open to you when we survey your home.

ECO4 is the final phase of the scheme to provide funding to homeowners.
ECO4 energy funding is available for a variety of measures to improve your home’s energy efficiency rating:
  • gas boiler replacement/upgrade
  • electric storage heater replacement
  • cavity wall insulation
  • loft insulation
  • solid and internal wall insulation
  • room in roof insulation
  • first-time central heating
  • solar panels
  • air source heat pumps
Contact us at South Rings Energy Ltd today and one of our team members will guide you through the process. We may ask you some simple questions about the heating and insulation in your home. We may ask you about the EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating of your current boiler and the energy efficiency rating of your home. Based on your suitability, we will then arrange to visit your home to assess what energy efficiency measures would be best for you and confirm whether funding would be granted.
